This has to do with Tom's charset changes. The error comes from:

The first problem appears to be that iconv_open("wchar_t", "UTF-8") fails.
Here are the relevant ICONV settings from config.h:
$ egrep 'ICONV|WCHAR|BTOWC' config.h
#define BITSIZEOF_WCHAR_T 32
#define HAVE_BTOWC 1
#define HAVE_ICONV 1
/* #undef HAVE_ICONVLIST */
/* #undef HAVE_LIBICONVLIST */
#define HAVE_SIGNED_WCHAR_T 1
#define HAVE_WCHAR_H 1
#define ICONV_CONST const
#define WCHAR_T_SUFFIX l
The second problem is that 'iconv -l' outputs this:
$ iconv -l
The following are all supported code set names. All combinations
of those names are not necessarily available for the pair of the
fromcode-tocode. Some of those code set names have aliases, which
are case-insensitive and described in parentheses following the
canonical name:
646 (ASCII, US-ASCII, US_ASCII, USASCII), 646da, 646de,
646en, 646es, 646fr, 646it, 646sv, 8859,
8859-1 (ISO8859-1, ISO-8859-1, ISO8859_1, ISO_8859_1),
This results in bizarre tab completion for 'set charset ...':
(gdb) set charset <TAB>
All combinations not

This was discussed on the list, though it never resulted in a working
patch.
I think we should completely disable the iconv stuff for solaris.
It might work with libiconv, I am not sure, but even if so, if
there is no libiconv we must fall back on nothing -- the solaris iconv
is unusable by gdb.

--- Comment #7 from Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat dot com> 2010-12-21 15:26:00 UTC ---
I put in a fix a while back that disables the use of
iconv on many systems, including Solaris.
The change will appear in gdb 7.3.
One thing that would be useful in the future is to know how to
write a test to see whether a newer Solaris has a working iconv.
Ideally, this test would not require running a test program.
For glibc this is easy because it defines __STDC_ISO_10646__,
but from the referenced thread I gather that this will never
be the case on Solaris.

Subject: Re: error reading variable for char variable
I've just asked the OpenSolaris i18n mailing list for advise:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/i18n-discuss/2010-April/003140.html
While there's a project to fix this issue, the current recommendation
was to disable iconv support. I've tried your patch on
i386-pc-solaris2.11 and it works just fine, so I'd really like to get
this in until Solaris can properly handle iconv.
Thanks.
Rainer
--- Comment #6 from Ilya Basin <basinilya at gmail dot com> 2010-12-10 13:05:52 UTC ---
I couldn't find an option to disable iconv, but this worked for me:
am_cv_func_iconv=no ./configure
Note that it isn't "./configure am_cv_func_iconv=no", because the configure
script in root dir doesn't pass am_cv_func_iconv to the configure script in gdb
dir.
