Would you have a time for the last successful build?

I suspect that the unfortunate reality is that someone is going to have 
to roll up their sleeves and try to build GDB while logged into an Alpha 
GNU/Linux system.  Only that way can the look at the relevant headers 
and figure out why things are going wrong.  ser-*.c is pretty generic so 
I'm puzzled as to why that doesn't build.

Anyway this:

> /mnt/buildsys/source/toolchain/gdb/ser-tcp.c:83: warning: implicit declaration of function `atoi'

suggests that something is skewiff.  ser-tcp.c unconditionally includes 
"gdb_string.h" and that pulls in either <string.h> or <strings.h> so 
should have those declarations visible?

Hmm, check the generated config.h for something strange.
