    libstdc++: Install libstdc++*-gdb.py more robustly [PR 99453]
    
    In order for GDB to auto-load the pretty printers, they must be installed
    as "libstdc++.$ext-gdb.py", where 'libstdc++.$ext' is the name of the
    object file that is loaded by GDB [1], i.e. the libstdc++ shared library.
    
    The approach taken in libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.am is to loop over
    files matching 'libstdc++*' in $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir) and choose
    the last file matching that glob that is not a symlink, the Libtool
    '*.la' file or a Python file.
    
    That works fine for ELF targets where the matching names are:
    
      libstdc++.a
      libstdc++.so
      libstdc++.so.6
      libstdc++.so.6.0.29
    
    But not for macOS with:
    
      libstdc++.6.dylib
      libstdc++.a
    
    Or MinGW with:
    
      libstdc++-6.dll
      libstdc++.dll.a
    
    Try to make a better job at installing the pretty printers with the
    correct name by copying the approach taken by isl [2], that is, using
    a sed invocation on the Libtool-generated 'libstdc++.la' to read the
    correct name for the current platform.
