I built from gdb-5.3.tar.gz off some GNU mirror in the UK. It built fine. It
have a non-empty readline/config.h file. This is against DJGPP CVS from a week

multiple-consecutive-slash patch for symlinks applied.

The test suite worked fine.

I was also thinking of doing new packages for gdb 5.2.1, since there are no
info docs in the binary package.
