>Description:
	With some programs, gdb displays the following message:

	GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD)

This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd"...Deprecated bfd_read called at /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/gdb/../../../../contrib/gdb/gdb/dbxread.c line 2627 in elfstab_build_psymtabs
Deprecated bfd_read called at /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/gdb/../../../../contrib/gdb/gdb/dbxread.c line 933 in fill_symbuf

	Same message on 4.8-Release and 4.8-Stable.

>How-To-Repeat:
	For example, download the binary asteru.exe, produced on i386 by the port
	french/aster with debugging symbols from
	<http://pompo.net/FreeBSD/asteru.exe.bz2>
	unzip it, and enter `gdb asteru.exe'.

	Note: MD5 (/tmp/asteru.exe.bz2) = d7ad91ecbf2e339dffb9f62218393b5e

>Fix:
	No idea, but there is no problem with GNU gdb 5.2.1 (FreeBSD) on
	5.1-Release.
