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.

Comment 2 Markus Peloquin 2010-07-13 05:27:31 UTC

It looks like it's fixed in gdb cvs:

I might try it later.

Comment 3 Markus Peloquin 2010-07-13 07:08:15 UTC

Yeah, I thought I'd let you guys know I have no idea how to deal with autotools patches, so...

gdb-7.2 should work fine with python-2.7
