error during configure/make sequence on GDB-CVS sources at Mac OS X

["Dr. Rolf Jansen" <rj@surtec.com>]

The following relates to:

Mac OS X 10.5.2, PPC
Xcode 3.0, Apple gcc and tools 4.0.1.

Building, installation, and running of gdb-6.8.50.20080408 works fine.

Building the current CVS (from today, 2008-04-23) stops during  
configure of src/gdb with the following error:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating .gdbinit
config.status: creating gnulib/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: gnulib/Makefile.in
make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

The commands are:

mkdir build
cd build
../gdb-cvs/configure --target=i386-mingw32msvc --disable-nls --disable- 
tui
make

In fact, gdb-6.8.50.20080408 is the last snapshot that builds at my  
system. The build of gdb-6.8.50.20080415 and of gdb-6.8.50.20080423  
does stop at the same stage with the same error like the current gdb- 
cvs does.

Please do no take this as any kind of a request. I only want to let  
you know that a commit made in the 7 days from 2008-04-08 to  
2008-04-15 changed something in the configure-gdb script which might  
break building of gdb on some systems.

Best regards

Dr. Rolf Jansen
