>Description:
I tried to build gdb using the --with-mmalloc configure
option and it failed to compile.  I got the following 
error while compiling the objfiles.c file.  The
reason that I want to compile using --with-malloc 
is to enable generation of symbol files.

>How-To-Repeat:
tar zxvf gdb-5.3.tar.gz
cd gdb-5.3
./configure --with-mmalloc
make
