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?
