I double checked on those libraries and they are the ones installed by binutils. This is actually one of the advantages of the more_control package management. The installation of one package WILL NOT over write files from another package. Oh, the scripts will try, but the management system generates an error and aborts the install. So if the gdb "package user" tried to change any files installed by the binutils "package user," I would have known--if everything worked correctly. Anyway, when I checked these files, they were installed by the binutils package user and never modified.
