Comment (by Chris Johns):

 Replying to [comment:2 Joel Sherrill]:
 > The build of gdb now depends on gmp-devel.

 Yes, it has for a while and we have building gmp for a while as a result.

 > I don't know if we want to include gmp in the rsb bset or not. But once
 I loaded that package, it built.

 Please remove the package and retest. It is included in the build setsfor
 the RTEMS tools. Please have a look in the defaults build sets for the 6
 release.

 > This is on CentOS 7 with the software collection to have gcc 8 and
 Python 3.

 Python 3 is now required because GDB requires it. The RTEMS tools commands
 are still python 2 compatible however pushing to a more recent GDB means
 we all need python 3.

 > CentOS 7 default is a gcc 4.8 and Python 2 which is insufficient.

 I do not use Linux and I do not know what this means?

 > Should we update the CentOS 7 recommendations in the Users Guide?

 To say what? The issue is not needing the package but why it was not built
 when it should be. Can you please debug this?
