You need to edit files in dist/gnu/gdb* to fix the bugs you are
working on, but you should not try to build in dist; If you
build in src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb*, then either a build with tools
(${TOOLDIR}/bin/nbmake-${MACHINE} dependall) or a build without tools
(make USETOOLS=never dependall) should work.

I thought you wanted to build the target gdb.  There is no tools version
of gdb.

Yes, that should do it.
