It seems like a bit of a pain to fix at top-level. These flags are put
into the default LDFLAGS for stage1, or when not bootstrapping.
How about just filtering them out in the gdb build? We could add a flag
to gdb's configure script to allow them to be added back in, on the off
chance that someone actually wants them.
