It turns out, things got broken if "-d gdb-cvs" option is also used:

   cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co -d gdb-cvs
      gdb+dejagnu

Strange, I always thought that "-d" just changed the name of the directory and 
has no effect on anything. And I've added it because "src" does not look like 
a good name for directory. Maybe this issue should be explicitly mentioned.
