I tested it on sparc64 where gdb 17 hasn't worked very well after the
switch to clang. As far as I can tell gdb 18 works no better but also
no worse than 17 (too many oddities to enumerate. Stepping is pretty
broken, especially for optimized binaries: it has a tendency to hang).

There was a REVISION bump after the xxhash update, so the Makefile diff
does not apply.
