If you keep the generated file checked in, there's no such
problem. gcc would only be necessary when making
_changes_ to the fixed page thing, to regenerate the blob.
If someone wants to make some change to the fixed page
implementation in gdb, _and_ that someone can't get a
prebuilt bfin gcc for some reason, she can always start
by building bfin binutils, then bfin gcc, and
only _then_ build bfin gdb using the host gcc + the just
built cross bfin-gcc for regenerating the fixed user
page blob.

Not at the moment. :-)

Thanks for addressing this.
