bug#9600: 24.0.50; .gdbinit does not run

[Richard Stallman]

    I tested with Debian testing's gdb "7.3-debian". A gdbinit file writable
    by me was fine, a world-writable gdbinit was rejected with

      warning: not using untrusted file ".gdbinit"

    This seems entirely reasonable to me [1]. No need to build another gdb.
    Just use a sensible umask when checking Emacs out from the repository.

When the executable is world-writable, there is no reason at all why
GDB should care whether .gdbinit is world-writable.

But we can't implement that here.

    Just use a sensible umask when checking Emacs out from the repository.

I think my choice of umask is totally sensible.  Where did you get
the idea it is not?
