Build system of sys-devel/gdb-7.1 checks Python versions in the following order:
2.6, 2.5, 2.4

I would also recommend to add an option to `configure`, which would allow to override Python version.

It looks like it's fixed in gdb cvs:

I might try it later.

gdb-7.2 should work fine with python-2.7
