Comment 5 for bug 1990729

Ok, the jammy-proposed link did not work for me -- apparently I am not set up as a developer.

I'm running on the latest ubuntu (20.10.04.1) on a thinkpad.

So I tried installing package libgmp-dev and that installed ok. However, when I tried running "make" in the gdb directory, I got a different error this time -- earlier actually.

make[3]: Circular doc/bfd.stamp <- doc/bfd.texi dependency dropped.

/home/amida/gdb/gdb/missing: 81: makeinfo: not found
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
         any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
         You might want to install the Texinfo package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
         The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
         using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
         want to install GNU make:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1789: doc/bfd.info] Error 127

so I tried rm -f on the gdb directory, then re-cloned it using the https link from jammy-proposed , then did ./configure and make but got the same error.

Sorry for the annoyance
