Does anyone can compiler gdb with Python/Guile support on OSX?

I do not install MacPorts, HomeBrew or any other 3rd party packaging
systems on MacOS because they complicate the build to a point I would
never know which part of which package is breaking the build or worse
which part is making it work.

I have made a change recently to better handle --with*/--without* and I
have not made the change in the gdb-7-1.cfg file to pick it up. The idea
is to allow you to add '--with-python=/usr/bin/python' on the RSB
command line avoiding the need to edit the configuration file.

Good to know.
