gdb build using different compiler

Hi Manoj,

Put /opt/tools/gcc/bin in your $PATH variable in front of /usr/bin.

  PATH=/opt/tools/gcc/bin:$PATH
  export PATH

Then do this to make sure you're getting the gcc you want:

  gcc --version

You might have to tweak "/opt/tools/gcc/bin" to get the result you want.

That's all there is to it!
