The version of Python is fine. I suspect it is a path related error with 
the development side such as the python headers or libraries GDB needs 
to link to.

The config.log file in the GDB build directory should indicate the 
error. You may need to look in the log trace for the extact directory 
configure was running in. The build happens in the 'build' directory. 
Under there are the package specific directories.
