Reference to old glob directory in gdb 6.5 makefile

[Ian C White]

I solved this issue by taking the gdb 6.6 source from sourceware.org. I 
got the other source from 

http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu

Now I've built gdb and, when I run a program in gdb, I get the following 
message:

[tcsetpgrp failed in terminal_inferior: Not owner]
warning: no shared library support for this OS / ABI
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x1a968: I/O error. 

osabi is set to "auto", which means "AIX". The tcsetpgrp error is the 
result of attach_flag not being set. 

What is the current state of support for aix5 on powerpc? Is this a gdb 
issue or a bfd issue? 

Many thanks,

No - no one seems to know where it comes from or how.  Can you figure
out what in your configure script causes it to create glob/Makefile?
