Furthermore, the GPL has explicit rules for Web sites: if the binary is
available for downloading from a site, the same site must provide the
sources that are necessary and sufficient to regenerate those binaries.

Providing a link to another site where there are some sources is not
enough.
And in this case the sources pointed to are not sufficient to regenerate
the
binary nor equivalent to what was used as there are certainly changes to
the
gdb code.
