Here is the message. I haven't tried it yet.

Subject: GDB and Red Hat - here is the patch

I spent a couple hours tracking this down and I hope it save someone
else some time. On RedHat, if you build the prc-tools package and get
an error running gdb you can fix it with this patch.
Unfortunately prc-tools make files don't make this patch easy. How
you choose to make this work is up to you. I can think of at least 6
ways to do this, none of which are elegant enough to document.
