Cannot start sparc-rtems-gdb (RTEMS 4.8)

Hi,

The GDB in RCC-1.1.x is built with libreadline as a shared library 
wheras GDB in RCC-1.0.x is built with libreadline statically linked. 
This only in the Linux version. In the next release of RCC-1.1.x GDB 
will be compiled with libreadline linked into the GDB binary as in 
RCC-1.0.x. 

In the mean while you can use either recompile GDB your self or install 
libreadline (symbolic link to newer libreadline may be enough if 
already installed)
