Ok. It should be Ok. I even had to use --disable-nls under Linux to get
libgdb.a (and other libraries) usable to build rhide under Linux.

I mostly building either in DOS session under Win98 SE or under
Linux. Perhaps I'll still use that way I'm building GDB for DJGPP as
I mostly interested in use it from RHIDE, not hacking GDB itself
However the next update of RHIDE will no more support using
GDB-4.18. So if one will want to compile it from sources he/she
will have to build GDB snapshot at first. Otherwise RHIDE seems
to work Ok with GDB snapshots (except rather broken binaries I had
put on my web site for 2 days and removed after that, but these were
RHIDE not GDB bugs)

PS. Currently I left building 12 April weekly snapshot of GDB. Let's
see whether all will be Ok.
