Sorry but I'm not interested in patches for RPM distro.

This was discussed multiple times: Debian policy does not allow us to
link to a binary libgdb provided by FPC upstream. This is no go and I
can't anything about it.

Few years ago, we made gdb folks create a libgdb package for us, based
on latest gdb code, but this was not really useful as FPC upstream was
not interested in pushing fp-ide to the latest libgdb, but also because
multiple dependencies of that lib are not packaged. So this resulted in
my decision to drop debugger support.

Now, to be honest, fp-ide is relying on a feature of gdb that is no more
maintained, and thus I'd prefer to not loose my time on that. However if
someone wants to change this situation, I'll be glad to push his
patches.

Cheers,
