GDB compile problem.

[Alex Turner <musicmaker at newfutureweb dot com>]

I'm writing a multithreaded MUD thing (It's a bit more than just a MUD),
and I'm having some thread problems, so I decided to upgrade to gdb 5.0.
Only thing is, it doesnt appear that there are binaries readily available
for RedHat 6.2 (I really didnt like the look of RH7).  I tried building
the MUD on RH7, but there seems to be a problem with the C++ library, and
I get thread lock whenever I call cout.  So I tried compiling gdb5.0 on
RH6.2, and get the following error:

gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -I. -I./../include  -W -Wall -Wtraditional
getpwd.c
getpwd.c: In function `getpwd':
getpwd.c:62: storage size of `dotstat' isn't known

make[1]: *** [getpwd.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gdb-5.0/libiberty'
make: *** [all-libiberty] Error 2

Am I missing some libraries or do I have a bad compiler?  What can I do to
fix this problem?

I just did a standard
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gdb
make

Are there some options that I need here?
