As you can see in the link above, the buildslave already has
/opt/freeware/bin in the PATH, therefore everything was already covered
in this area before.  But thanks for this.

Right.  Strangely I wasn't seeing this problem when compiling GDB
manually in the machine, and Peter's commit doesn't touch the m32c file.

That would be awesome!  It is currently running in my homedir at gcc111,
but I can stop it so that you can configure the buildslave at your
homedir if you want.  I'd prefer to keep the same name (aix-power7-1).
I can also send you (in private) the password for the buildslave, along
with the full command to create it.  Let me know when/what you need and
I'll be happy to help.

Thanks,
