You mean, gdb/config.h has HAVE_SOURCE_HIGHLIGHT defined in your
build, even though you don't have source-highlight installed?

Please do.  (Does it mean everyone else are building with
source-highlight?)

Not much.  The source code shown by GDB commands such as "list",
"backtrace" etc. will not be highlighted, but that's all.  GDB only
supports this feature since 8.3, i.e. 2 releases ago.
