Texstar,
I see you already updated gdb to version 7.1.

Did you get rid of all the Red Hat patches?
Just for the heck of it I created a spec file without the patches that works for me. I did add gstack and the man page from the patches though.

%description
Gdb is a full featured, command driven debugger. Gdb allows you to
trace the execution of programs and examine their internal state at
any time. Gdb works for C and C++ compiled with the GNU C compiler
gcc.
If you are going to develop C and/or C++ programs and use the GNU gcc
compiler, you may want to install gdb to help you debug your programs.
