I give up.
I went into the build directory and manually added "-ltinfo" to the
link options in the Makefile and did a "make". It then compiled and
linked just fine. After that, doing 'ebuild gdb-8.3.ebuild
preinst/install/qmerge' worked and I have a functional gdb again.
When I have a spare day I guess I'm going to have to fall back on the
old MS-Windows solution: wipe the disk and install from scratch.
