These results are sane.  FYI, if you use a full path to run configure,
the mi-basics failures will go away.

The only reason I haven't approved the gdb-mi.el you last posted was
because it depended on the MI patch which you just reminded me to look
at (which was an interface change, and I hadn't had a chance to
digest it yet).  I do not want you to commit anything which uses MI
interfaces that don't exist yet!  Normally, I'd be perfectly willing to
rubber-stamp it in.
