Thanks.  sid/ is not really associated with gdb/, so I expect
gdb-gnats guys will close this problem and pass it over to
sid@sources.redhat.com anyway.  Or you could close it and save
them some effort.

In general, we need to build sid in a tree separate from the source tree.
Most of the other tools also prefer this arrangement, so you should probably

	mkdir /some-build-tree
	cd /some-build-tree
	/path_to_source_tree/configure --prefix=/path_to_install_tree
	make
