OK.  Seems the clash is with the group_from_gid / user_from_uid
BSD functions that do a similar thing from what our
versions do.  E.g.,:

 http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/openbsd/man3/group_from_gid.3.html
 https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/System/Conceptual/ManPages_iPhoneOS/man3/group_from_gid.3.html

"functions first appeared in 4.4BSD".

Though BSD's return a pointer to a statically allocated
buffer, while gdb's take a buffer pointer as argument.

As glibc doesn't support those BSD functions, we don't trip
on that on GNU/Linux.

I think we should just rename our symbols.  E.g.,
 group_from_gid -> gdb_group_from_gid
 user_from_uid -> gdb_user_from_uid
