I did, but I always saw a related problem that I had never
tracked down, which very much sounds like fixed by this.

From https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-05/msg00057.html:

~~~~~~~
Another issue is that in the gdb/Makefile, I end up with
CC set twice:

$ grep "^CC.*gcc" Makefile
CC=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc
CC= gcc

and the second one is of course, wrong.  configure does find
i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc:

...
checking for i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc... i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
...

and I don't get this on the other subdirs (bfd, etc.)

So if I cd into build/gdb and do "make", the system gcc instead
of the djgpp gcc is invoked:

$ make

and that of course isn't the right compiler to use, and things
fall apart.

When make is invoked from the top build dir, the correct CC is passed
down to the gdb/ sub make, so the workaround is to "cd ..; make".
