Either works for me. Your version has the downside of computing
the GDB version even if not trying to build a GDB package, and
it could also open the door for us forgetting to set VER to
GDB_VER. On the upside, it does avoid putting some GDB-specific
code in an expression which is otherwise pretty generic (expression
computing VER).
