Hello,

GDB fails to build from source on i386

The testsuite fails on i386:
FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: test_break_user_call: hit breakpoint on called function
FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: test_break_user_call: backtrace while in called function
FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: test_break_user_call: finish from called function
FAIL: gdb.base/break-main-file-remove-fail.exp: cmdline: get result of munmap call
FAIL: gdb.base/break-main-file-remove-fail.exp: file: get result of munmap call
FAIL: gdb.base/break-probes.exp: call (int) foo(23)

Therefore package fails. This issue still needs to be investigated, but
I am openining this report to prevent package from entering testing.
