this backend must have been built if gdb is present when running rustc
tests, otherwise, 3 tests (in the debuginfo series) fail.

I just built a GDB-8.2.1 with python3. It seems working well. (At least
libstdc++.so.6.0.25-gdb.py works with it).
> Actually, I do not understand why they need ''--with-
python=/usr/bin/python3 ''. Don't they rename python3 to python?
Maybe to prevent some systems with `/usr/local/bin/python` or
`/opt/anaconda/bin/python`? My girlfriend once got stuck because a
version conflict between system Python and Anaconda.
