It appears that there is a discrepancy between glibc 2.0.7-19 as
shipped with RedHat 5.1 and the current kernel 2.1.124 that prevents
native gdb from being built.  In particular, gdb includes the
following file because it believes the 386 has hardware watchpoints:

       <sys/debugreg.h>

/usr/include/sys/debugreg.h has:

	#include <linux/debugreg.h>

There is no file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/debugreg.h, but there is
a version in /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 (ie <asm/debugreg.h>).
It looks like the change was made in 2.1.113.
