No. That's what this means:
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:

Fair enough :-)
BTW: the error message appears just after invoking configure, and is
not re-displayed later. This is why I missed it the first time. When
the 'gdb' directory is not supported, it might be sensible to show a
big warning at the configure results?
A start might be something like the below patch to configure.ac.
