Hello,
I just checked in a patch that expands the list of configure options
for GDB, and it's only after pushing the patch that I realized that
a NEWS entry should probably be added. Here it is.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Document new --enable-libmcheck/--disable-libmcheck
configure options.

*** Changes since GDB 7.5
+* New configure options
+
+--enable-libmcheck/--disable-libmcheck
+ By default, development versions are built with -lmcheck on hosts
+ that support it, in order to help track memory corruption issues.
+ Release versions, on the other hand, are built without -lmcheck
+ by default. The --enable-libmcheck/--disable-libmcheck configure
+ options allow the user to override that default.
+
* New commands (for set/show, see "New options" below)
