I totally forgot about it. See here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-12/msg00029.html

For newer GDB (7.10.1/7.11) we need to use out-of-tree builds. I
only tested with 7.9, I think it was the default by the time I
tested it or I changed it.

How would we change package/gdb to use out-of-tree building?
