I did a cvsup to 2.2 about the same time, and I didn't get this
problem (the source tree compiled fine).  But I got curious about
the "proper links to the contrib directory" above, so I looked,
and there are no symbolic links in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin (esp. the
gdb subdirectory).

I understand the philosophy behind /usr/src/contrib, but I'm not
sure I fully understand how it works in practice when making the
world.  Do you have to do something special to get the /usr/src/contrib
version of an application to be the one used?  Are there supposed
to be symbolic links pointing into /usr/src/contrib if that's the
one being used?  (Do you get the /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin version of
an app. by default unless you take some additional step?)
