gdb 5.0 reports:
GNU gdb 5.0
Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
GDB is free software ...
This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu".
gdb built from the CVS sources reports:
GNU gdb 5.0
Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
GDB is free software ...
This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu".
When someone files a PR against "gdb 5.0", it's impossible
to tell whether they are using gdb 5.0 (the released software)
or gdb 5.0 (some snapshot made any time up to January 2001).
>How-To-Repeat:
Build a gdb from the CVS sources.
Run it.
>Fix:
Change Makefile.in from "5.0" to something, anything, else.
Check the other instances of 5.0:
NEWS, README, TODO, config/djgpp/README, doc/annotate.texi,
doc/gdb.texinfo, language.c, language.h.
