Ok, the jammy-proposed link did not work for me -- apparently I am not
set up as a developer.
I'm running on the latest ubuntu (20.10.04.1) on a thinkpad.
So I tried installing package libgmp-dev and that installed ok.
However, when I tried running "make" in the gdb directory, I got a
different error this time -- earlier actually.
make[3]: Circular doc/bfd.stamp <- doc/bfd.texi dependency dropped.

/home/amida/gdb/gdb/missing: 81: makeinfo: not found
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
You might want to install the Texinfo package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
want to install GNU make:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1789: doc/bfd.info] Error 127
so I tried rm -f on the gdb directory, then re-cloned it using the https
link from jammy-proposed , then did ./configure and make but got the
same error.
Sorry for the annoyance

Title:
gdb crashes when run from VSCode
Status in gdb package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I had no pre-existing breakpoints in VSCode, then added a breakpoint,
and used F5 to run the debugger to the one breakpoint. It crashed
before it got there. This is a C++ executable compiled for debugging
using CMAKE. I can successfully debug the program using the TUI mode
of gdb, so I think the problem likes in the vscode interface to gdb.
