Doesn't seem to be enough. 

gdb/observer.sh set IFS=: and as result I had to edit $texi not to include this symbol

Even after that backtrace command in GDB is broken except of for current frame.

When I tried to debug gdb itself then I'm getting following output:

Both problems were also with gdb-6.2.1, but not with gdb-6.1.1. 

bfdsymify doesn't build because of bfd_get_section_size_before_reloc() is
unresolved.

I didn't test this time with gdb-6.3, but at least gdb-6.2.1 didn't build unless I had
ncurses installed. pdcurses was not Ok. If ncurses is installed also gdbtui.exe builds
and seems to work except of the same probemw which are with gdb.exe
