[Bug gdb/11493] New: gdb 7.1 sparcv9 sol9 build fails due to symbol error elfcore_write_prstatus

Hello ,

we're trying to compile gdb 7.1 on Solaris 9.
64 and 32 bit builds both fail with symbol error. 
Looks like bfd problem is rising again?!
I also tried --disable-largefile and --disable-tui but that didn't help either.

Environment looks like this:
make 3.81

# uname -a
SunOS aachen3 5.9 Generic_122300-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500

# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: sparcv9-sun-solaris29
Configured with: /home/xhpkagu/test/gcc/gcc-4.4.3_SOL9/configure
--prefix=/app/gcc/4.4.3 --with-gmp=/app/gmp/4.2.4 --with-mpfr=/app/mpfr/2.4.0
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc sparcv9-sun-solaris29
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC)

 ./configure --prefix=/app/gdb/7.0 --enable-shared=yes sparcv9-sun-solaris29 ; make
make install

Any hints appreciated.
