 Unless perhaps he meant hardcoded X11R6 dependency?  patch-aa seems to
 show a fragment of code under pkgsrc-2009Q2:
 
 
GDM_USER_PATH="$GDM_USER_PATH:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11R6/bin"
 
 Although this is only for a PATH, I didn't look at the gdb source
 but a patch might be needed to convert these to use $X11BASE or
 also add X11R7 or similar?  Makefile does have
 CONFIGURE_ENV+=X11BASE=${X11BASE:Q} already though.
 
 Thanks,
