I've never seen this exact error, but my first step in diagnosing 
configure issues is to check config.log for anomalies.

Also, you're not supposed to configure gdb in /under the directory 
containing its own sources. Try creating a "gdb-obj" somewhere else and 
then ../gdb-src/configure

You probably need to install some tcl*-dev package.
