gcc111.fsffrance.org:

bzip2 -dc gdb-7.7.tar.bz2|tar xf -;cd gdb-7.7;./configure;make
	gcc -g -O2 -I. -I. -I./../../include -I../../bfd -I./../../bfd -I../../gdb -I./../../gdb  -I./../../gdb/config  -I. -I../common -I./../common -o gentmap
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

(BTW it builds OK on RHEL-5 ppc64.)

But I have figured out now it builds with --disable-sim .  Maybe to disable
ppc* sim by default?  I have disabled it in Fedora/RHEL in Feb 2008 as already
that time it could not run any binary.
