rebuilding gumstix gdb

Did a make clean on my gumstix tree and tried to rebuild (why? that's material for another post). Got stuck at gdb with the following error:

I remembered having solved it before, so started searching and sure enough, found my question and answer on the Nabble site!

http://www.nabble.com/make-gdbclient-failure-tt21114770.html#a21114770

so, here's the fix:

FWIW, edited gumstix-buildroot-1614/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/gdbclient-6.4/opcodes/Makefile
removed -Werror and it worked

diff Makefile Makefile.2008-12-21
