>Description:
The release procedure for gdb uses the top level Makefile "src-release".
"src-release" configures gdb to build a few files for the release tarball that are not in the CVS archive. When "src-release" does this, it uses the sun4 configuration.
Sun-4 has been removed from gdb.
You can see an log from the nightly snapshot starting here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdbadmin/2004-01/msg00004.html
>How-To-Repeat:
Run the release process (documented in gdbint.texinfo) or look at the nightly snapshot messages in gdbadmin.
>Fix:
Change src-release to use a different architecture.
I don't know about any hidden gotchas in the top level, so I don't want to do this myself. In particular, there's a big comment about "newlib" and sun4. Just grep for sun4.
