Hm, I did nothing special there:

[wolfram:~/gdb-6.6-build] andreast% ./config.status --recheck
/home/andreast/gdb-6.6/configure  --prefix=/home/andreast/gdb/testbin 
--disable-nls --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local

May I miss some stuff for fbsd in bfd?

The build itself is done outside the source-tree.

Thanks!
