So we got recent reports about some gcc ports failing to build for
obscure reasons.  The last known failure was spotted  by tb@:

  https://pbot.rmdir.de/Br7B606-XUwXsk9LMLLDNA

The issue is the ugly ansidecl.h header shipped by devel/gdb and
picked up by the compiler instead of the local copy in
${WRKSRC}/include.  This ansidecl.h header is installed as a support
header for other bfd headers.  I guess the header installed with
gdb-13.2 doesn't provide anymore the necessary compat defines used in
the affected gcc copies.

If we want to ship some recent libbfd support, I think we should do it
from devel/binutils.  But right now nothing in the ports tree uses
libbfd, so the easiest way forward is to just drop bfd from devel/gdb.
I have verified that lang/rust still builds with this diff.

I might also add fixes to the various devel/*/gcc ports at a later
point, just in case we decide to install libbfd again.

ok?
