This seems to be normal....If it works, don't care about :)

Well, gdb needs a terminal library to access your screen....install
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/termcap/ or ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses

before you try to install gdb....

(or get a tool that does this for you :) have we already mentioned
http://ptxdist.sf.net?)

Nope - In etc, there should be no executables, so adding a path to there
has no effect.....
