[PATCH v2] Remove duplicated include in gdb directory

Thank you for your kind feedback.
I thought it's just a minor code cleanup so I didn't expect any copyright issues.

I have tried to build as below.
  $ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/build
  $ make
and
  $ make distclean
  $ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/build --enable-targets=all
  $ make

In both cases, build were fine and gdb binary is generated without problems.

However, when I tried to run gdb to debug just a simple hello world program, it fails.
But I found that the current HEAD also fails by showing the following message.
It seems to be very strange for me since it's not from the patch that I submitted.
I have tested the same thing after checkout a tag "gdb_7_6_2-2013-12-08-release" and it worked fine.
Please consider this issue separately or please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the patch, Honggyu.  I believe you have tested it by building
GDB with --enable-targets=all, right?

It needs a ChangeLog (mechanical), and it seems to be simple enough to
be committed without needing a copyright assignment (I don't see your
name in the MAINTAINERS file).

Other than that, let's wait for some maintainer to give the green
light.  BTW, if you want to get started on the process to obtain the
copyright assignment, mail me offlist and I can send you the
instructions.

Thanks,
