Are you sure patching gdb is the right direction here? I believe those
patches have no chance to be merged upstream, so patching is not the
right solution.

A better solution is probably to re-add --enable-static to
GDB_CONF_OPTS, even if we're doing a shared only build. This doesn't
require patching gdb, and is more compliant with what upstream wants:
doing a pure shared build of gdb isn't supported.

Best regards,

Thomas
