I just did:

../gdbcvs/src/configure --build=i686-pc-linux --host=mipsel-linux
--target=mipsel-linux

from gdb_6_2-branch of today.

I get this when doing make :
.
.
.
checking for mbsrtowcs... yes
checking for wcwidth... yes
checking for mbstate_t... configure: error: cannot run test program
while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [configure-readline] Error 1

I know that placing this line:

bash_cv_have_mbstate_t=${bash_cv_have_mbstate_t=yes}

in readline's config.cache will work around, but isn't it about time
that someone fixed readline's configure?

readline's configure no longer calls AC_TRY_RUN in readline 5.0.
So when gdb imports that, the problem should be fixed.
