 Hi Daniel & Michael,
 
 I had first tried to configure & build on a separated 'build' dir under
 /home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3/ like
 recommended in the /home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3/gdb/README :
 "
 However, we recommend that an empty directory be used instead.
 This way you do not clutter your source tree with binary files
 and will be able to create different builds with different
 configuration options.
 
 You can build GDB in any empty build directory:
 
       mkdir build
       cd build
       <full path to your sources>/gdb-5.3/configure
       make
       cp gdb/gdb /usr/local/bin/gdb (or wherever you want)
 "
 
 The configuration succeeds, but building fails:
 
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3/bfd -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -I.
 -I/home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3/bfd -I/home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3/bfd/../include
 -I/home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3/bfd/../intl -I../intl -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
 -Wmissing-prototypes -g -O2 -c /home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3/bfd/elf32.c -o elf32.o

 Then I thought I had to config & build in the gdb dir...
 So I became to gdb bug error report 927, which you can now reject (Sorry about
 this...)
 
 
 Now I have succesfull configure and build gdb 5.3 on Sparc Solaris 2.8
 with gcc 2.95.3 & gnu make 3.80 on /home/jvme/bin/gdb-5.3 .
 
 Thanks very much for the support and help,
 
 Regards,
