Thanks!

Pedro, how do we make this propagated to the GDB repository?

My problem is, I don't have a GCC repository, so doing the above means
checking it out, which takes a _very_ long time here.  And the patch I
was thinking about is not the one you eventually committed anyway,
which is to be expected, since I have no idea about the various
dependencies between the projects that use the common configure
infrastructure and about how things are done to keep all the user
projects in sync.

IOW, not everyone who reports a problem can necessarily provide a
patch.  The fact that you know too much about my abilities in other
projects doesn't (or shouldn't) change that ;-)

I know.  I was trying to make it as easy as I possibly could, given
the level of my knowledge in this area.
