   Okay, so the shlibdeps info in the gdb binary is not correct. I will soon
   update gdb and make sure it is okay (yes, mark, I know I wanted to do this a
   few days earlier :)

The gdb binary was probably built before the Hurd's libraries were
versioned (only libshouldlibc.so existed without an explicit soname
built in).  Rebuilding gdb on a recent Hurd should solve this
problem, although you won't notice the problem if you have installed
the hurd-dev package.  However, you will run into problems if we bump
the soname, so it is a good idea to get rid of these old binaries
ASAP.
