it's still the same reason as before: to build a 64bit gdb on 32bit architectures. Yes, I know that the gdb maintainer has removed the 64bit gdb package unfortunately, but why make it even more difficult to build such a binary? The gdb upstream sources come with readline sources, but not with ncurses sources, so you definitely make it harder to build this.
