I noticed now that this didn't come with a NEWS entry.

Shouldn't it have one?  I.e.:

 - mention that GMP is now a dependency for building GDB

 - support for fixed point types seems NEWS worthy too

Also, gdb/README documents configure options and we mention --with-mpfr there.
Shouldn't we mention --with-libgmp-prefix there too?
