------------------
-gdb/660: gdb does not build with linux libc5. The symptom is a parse
-error before `uintptr_t'. Upgrade to glibc 2.1.3 or later, which

+gdb/660: gdb does not build with GNU/Linux libc5. The symptom is a
+parse error before `uintptr_t' or an error message about `uintptr_t'.
+Upgrade to glibc 2.1.3 or later, which defines uintptr_t.
gdb/1030: GNU binutils 2.12.1 and earlier versions do not work properly
with gdb. If you use GNU binutils, upgrade to version 2.13 or later.
