I hacked on the gdb makefiles and sources to get it to compile and it
seems I've done something wrong ...not surprising since it was my
first time with the gdb sources.  The gdb.exe I built runs, but
there's some Python issue causing a traceback and "python print 23"
doesn't work.  Please let me know if you've any ideas regarding the
traceback:

TypeError: type 'gdb.Symbol' participates in gc and is a base type but
has inappropriate tp_free slot
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'gdb' is not defined

Maybe because I removed the -D$(BINDIR) CFLAG in the bfd makefile?

... or maybe Daniel can get it working on his end.
