It should definitely fix the problem, although I tend to avoid using
this command without specifying the directory I want to get, because
otherwise I end up pulling some directories from other modules (such
as insight). So I tend to do "cvs update -d DIRNAME" instead.  This
is one of the limitations of using shared CVS for several projects,
I guess.

But Michael said that he did a fresh checkout of the sources, and so
his sandbox should have contained gdb/gnulib.
