I've put this into the gdb try-buildbot, and it fixes the centos 
regression : 
https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders/118/builds/17 .

I didn't get emails to that effect for some reason, but visual 
inspection at https://builder.sourceware.org/ of the try build bots at 
gdb shows all green.
