Oh, chucks, that made it to the last snapshot.  Build errors are rare though.  That's
been fixed in mainline already.  You could try the version before that one, or
wait for a new snapshot, or just try vanilla gdb 6.8.

tree, over which we're not responsible for.  If you can help with the triage, it
makes it much easier, and the end result being that you get a fixed gdb faster.
