gdb-6.8.50.20080507 not building.

[Anmol P. Paralkar]

Hello,

  I am trying to build gdb-6.8.50.20080507, configured as follows:

  CC=gcc \
  ../../../src/gdb-6.8.50.20080507-original/configure \
  --target=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu \
  --program-prefix=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu- \
  --program-suffix=-6.8.50.20080507-original \
  --prefix=/proj/ppc/sysperf/labhome/b07584/gnu/tools > configure-invocation.log 2>&1

  However, the build fails:

I got the same error the last time I tried to build gdb.  I obtained depcomp by installing GNU automake and copying depcomp to the gdb source directory.

Interesting.  Here are the files from our repository which are not
included in all src-based releases:

./.cvsignore
./COPYING.NEWLIB
./COPYING.LIBGLOSS
./ChangeLog
./MAINTAINERS
./README-maintainer-mode
./ltgcc.m4
./depcomp
./makefile.vms
./mkdep
./setup.com
./djunpack.bat
./compile
./lt~obsolete.m4

I'm not sure which of those are necessary.  Anyone know?  I'm guessing
depcomp, mkdep, and compile.  Not sure about ltgcc.m4 or
lt~obsolete.m4.

The only file that I had to get was depcomp, but that was a while ago and I don't remember whether or not the other files were present (the source directory that I used has been deleted since then).

ltgcc.m4 overrides a macro in libtool.m4 and is only needed by gcc, but
it shouldn't hurt to included it.  lt~obsolete.m4 appears to only be
needed inside libtool itself, although libtoolize will install it
anyway.

I've checked in this patch.  This should fix the next snapshot.

I also added some files I've been meaning to add for years; the
comments about ChangeLog made sense when they were added - 15 years
ago when this was an internal Cygnus repository - but they don't
today.
