Comment (by Joel Sherrill):

 Follow up based on discussions on the gdb PR. This is also broken with gdb
 8.0. ArchLinux uses gdb 8.0 with guile 2.0.

 We have two options:

 * build a known guile version as a dependency for gdb
 * disable guile

 guile (Scheme) is used as an alternative to Python to program gdb from a
 user perspective.

 My personal recommendation to you would be to disable guile in the RSB
 configuration files and submit a patch.

 Whether or not this is the best permanent solution is up for discussion
 from an RTEMS community discussion. I suspect it is the best solution
 though.
