I will do this when I'm back in the office.

I didn't specify any compiler related configure arguments (only
--prefix, --with-gtk and --exec-prefix) so I use the default options
from Emacs' built system:

,----[ src/Makefile ]
| CC=gcc
| CPP=gcc -E
| CFLAGS=-g -O2
| CPPFLAGS=-D_BSD_SOURCE  
| LDFLAGS= -Wl,-znocombreloc -L/usr/X11R6/lib64

This problem is not reproducible.  It's the first time I got those
`Variable "foo" is not available' messages when running Emacs under
gdb (see my previous reports on emacs-pretest).  Is it possible to
detach from this session from gdb and re-attach it to the snapshot
gdb?
