  Reverting your patch lets build mips-rtems*gdb-7.5.91 build 
successfully on all hosts I am build gdb on [1]

  This is not surprising to me, as reverting the patch pushes 
mips*gdb-7.5.91's configuration into a similar state as gdb-7.5.1 was, 
which built for all of my build hosts.

I am suspecting you were building mipstx39-rtems-gdb. From what I see, 
this is the only mips-gdb configuration which actually uses dv-sockser.
It had always failed building on some hosts, which had forced me to 
resort to --disable-sim for these hosts[2].

Another possibility would be you to having had run-time issues with 
dv-sockser - I don't know (I don't use mips-rtems-gdb on CentOS6).

All in all, I feel your patch should be reverted.

[2] According to my build scripts, mingw32-i386 and mingw32-w64 had this 
issue.
