* bsc#1068950 * bsc#1081527 * bsc#1211052 * jsc#PED-6584

Summary

## This update for gdb fixes the following issues: * Drop libdebuginfod1 BuildRequires/Recommends. The former isn't needed because there's a build requirement on libdebuginfod-devel already, which will pull the shared library. And the latter, because it's bogus since RPM auto generated dependency will take care of that requirement. gdb was released in 13.2: * This version of GDB includes the following changes and enhancements: * Support for the following new targets has been added in both GDB and GDBserver: * GNU/Linux/LoongArch (gdbserver) loongarch*-*-linux* * GNU/Linux/CSKY (gdbserver) csky*-*linux* * The Windows native target now supports target async. * Floating-point support has now been added on LoongArch GNU/Linux. * New commands: * set print nibbles [on|off] * show print nibbles
