I don't have any references to gdb.1 either:
cd /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu
find . -name .depend | xargs fgrep gdb.1
[ no output ]
If I put a 'NOMAN=1' in the gdb/gdb/Makefile, then it will get through the
build. I think that what's happening is that the Makefile wants to build
a manpage by default, and it can't figure out how. Since gdb.1 does not
exist any more, it's causing an error. I don't think that dependencies have
anything to do with this one.
Either the gdb.1 file should be put back (was it erroneously removed?) or a
rule should be added somewhere telling it how to make the man page.
