Comment (by Deil.Christoph@…):

 Trying to update 7.3_1 to 7.5_0 I got similar (bug not identical) gdb
 compile errors as the ones shown above. I'm on OS X 10.8.2 (12C60) with
 XCode 4.5.1 (4G1004) and Macports tried to use this compiler to build gdb:
 {{{
 $ /usr/bin/clang --version
 Apple clang version 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-421.0.60) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0
 Thread model: posix
 }}}

 Full log attached.

 Here's the commands I executed:
 {{{
