gdb-6.8.50.20080507 not building.

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:

  Is there something I am missing here?

  Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

PS: I have the same problem with gdb-6.8.50.20080506 -
yesterday's snapshot.

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.
