OSX tool build warnings->errors with gdb

[Andrei Chichak]

Hi all,

I got DarwinPorts and wget installed, ran Alan Cudmore's script and  
everything was going very well until the build blew up trying to build  
gdb.

There seems to be an issue with the DEF_VEC_P macro in vec.h when  
compiling m68k-tdep.c.  Checking the 'net it looks like it has been  
seen before with gdb 6.8 for various architectures.

I get the messages:

which wouldn't be much of a problem, but the compile is set up with - 
Werror so these warnings, and others, are now errors.

I suspect that someone has dealt with this before.

Anybody?

Thanks,
Andrei
