Hi, The use of $zlibdir when setting LDFLAGS within GDB_AC_CHECK_BFD in gdb/acinclude.m4 seems to be incorrect unless gdb is configured `--with-system -zlib'. At configure time it becomes (see config/zlib.m4) -L$(top_builddir)/../zlib with $(top_builddir) being a make(!) variable. This makes a number of gdb/configure tests fail unless a user has got an installed system zlib for the host of GDB. As a result, one may quite unexpectedly obtain GDB without ELF support.
