The gdb/README file in cvs says:
You can build GDB right in the source directory:
cd gdb-5.0
./configure
make
cp gdb/gdb /usr/local/bin/gdb
(or wherever you want)

It appears to me that either the gdb/README file should be changed to say that gdb MUST be built in another directory, or the configuration of the building of sid should be changed.
