Comment (by Joel Sherrill):

 I have no idea what guile is being used for but based on the comments in
 the gdb PR, it looks like it isn't getting fixed on the 7.12 branch.
 Looks like Freddie's suggestion is the most practical one.

 For me a "workaround" is to explicitly disable guile by passing `--with-
 guile=no` to GDB's configure script

 A semi-proper solution for 7.12 would be to detect the newer guile version
 and disable guile.

 The PR thread doesn't mention if this is fixed in a newer gdb which leads
 me to believe that it hasn't been.
