When I run "config.gdb sparc os4" I get the following errors:

./config.gdb: sparc=sun4os4: not found
./config.gdb: os4=: not found
Linking `param.h' to `m-sparc.h'.
Linking `pinsn.c' to `sparc-pinsn.c'.
Linking `opcode.h' to `sparc-opcode.h'.
Linking `dep.c' to `sparc-dep.c'.
Editing Makefile
GDB is now set up for use with a sparc.

Upon inspecting the code, I find:

[...]
sparc|sun4)
	case $os in
	os4|sunos4)
		$machine=sun4os4
		$os=""
		;;
	esac
	;;
[...]

Naturally, this should say "machine=sun4os4", not "$machine=sun4os4", etc.
