Yes it does.

I was told that importing expat was unacceptable.  I was also told
that requiring it be installed to build GDB was unacceptable.  This
is about the best I can manage given those restrictions.

Could you explain why you want to avoid expat?  It's not like you have
to use a DLL version; it should not complicate shipping GDB at all.
It just has to be in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS when you're building GDB.
