What platform are you building on? I've built gdb 5.1.1 many times on native i686-pc-linux-gnu. I always build in a build directory that is different from the source directory. I have never experienced this problem.
Can you post the output of "uname -a" on your system, plus the exact command you use to configure gdb. Also, gdb 5.2 was released this week, so can you try that instead.
