We added Python scripting capabilities to gdb during this period.

If you want to transport gdb binaries between different machines, you
have a couple of choices. One choice is to make sure that the same
libraries are available everywhere. Another one is to configure with
--disable-python. This will make it so that gdb is not linked against
the python library.
