Does the build (configure or compile) barf clearly explain the reason 
for the failure?  If it is this common, GDB might as well be a little 
proactive and complain up front.

Should the build notes also mention this?  The PROBLEM (groan) with the 
PROBLEMS file is that people often don't read it :-).
