Please be explicit: did you regenerate configure after apply the patch?
If you did not regenerate configure, the patch will have no effect. [To
regenerate configure, run "autoconf" in the directory containing the
patched configure.in file, i.e, src/.]

Gdb does not use c++. Do you have g++ installed? [Can you build a simple
helloworld executable in c++?]

In any case, dejagnu and expect are not required for the build. You
could erase src/expect and src/dejagnu from your sources and reconfigure
and rebuild. You won't be able to test anything, though.
