Build gdb with libpython 3.9 #8

Closed sharkwouter closed 1 year ago

sharkwouter commented 2 years ago

The automated Ubuntu 20.04 build using libpython 3.8 to build gdb at the moment. This causes problems when trying to run gdb on Ubuntu 20.04 (because libpython 3.9 is the default now), Debian and most other distributions. We should probably link to libpython 3.9 instead as it is available on Ubuntu 20.04 and it should work on more distributions. This is not a full solution, but currently psp-gdb is the only tool in the prebuild toolchain which does not work on my machine (Debian 11) and I've had to manually install libpython 3.8 on Ubuntu 20.04.

10 addresses this issue in a different way which I think it a better solution. Which is not including python as a dependency at all for CI builds. This would require an update to pspdev.github.io.

This is no longer needed, we now build the pre-build gdb without python support.
