Mine (when I got the error) was basically equivalent, except that my build
tree was not inside the source tree. My path to configure was
	../toddpw/gdb-4.17.85/configure

I got it from gdb/private so I could try 'make check'. In the past I have
downloaded GDB+dejagnu from gdb/private but I have never been able to get
'make check' to totally succeed. With straight 4.17 I think only the solaris
thread tests failed though.

Looks like it, although I have a sinking feeling that it is some deficiency
in the sh/sed/grep/find/etc. binaries I have in my path, which is something
that only I can track down, and I don't know when I can get around to that.

I could always re-do the bad configure and send someone the tarball, but
the efficiency of that is questionable and there's no guarantee it will
yield results.
