The same configure script is used for binutils, ld, and many other things, so it's not going to work to single out gdb in the warning message. In theory one could customize the configure script to say different things depending on whether it is part of a gdb release, binutils release, etc, but that would be quite a bit more work for a situation that is nearly unique to Darwin.
