[Bug build/11605] New: GDB error() conflicts with glibc error(3)

["jan dot kratochvil at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

GNU libc provides:
void error(int status, int errnum, const char *format, ...);

But it is overriden by gdb's:
void error (const char *string, ...);

It will crash if any library will try to call glibc error().
GDB should some form of the symbol visibility for "error".

Grepped libraries referencing GNU libc error on some Fedora 12 system:
libdw
libgettextlib
libgettextpo
libgettextsrc
libhivex
liblftp-tasks
libparted
