>Description:
gdb6 requires a run of lex over 
/usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb6/gdb/ada-lex.l

but the call is not honouring the build.sh specified write-path for output, 
instead  its wired into /usr/src (mounted readonly)

#       lex  libgdb//usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb6/gdb/ada-lex.c
/data/Build/tools/bin/nblex  -Pyy -o/usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb6/gdb/ada-lex.c /usr/sr
c/gnu/dist/gdb6/gdb/ada-lex.l
/data/Build/tools/bin/nblex: could not create /usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb6/gdb/ada-lex
.c

*** Failed target:  /usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb6/gdb/ada-lex.c
*** Failed command: /data/Build/tools/bin/nblex -Pyy -o/usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb6/gd
b/ada-lex.c /usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb6/gdb/ada-lex.l
*** Error code 1

Stop.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	run build.sh over a read-only /usr/src

	
>Fix:
	find a Makefile lex rule and stomp on it!
