GDB: Fix for GMP and Python (#26366)

closes  #26354 and #26358

Previously we did not pass paths for GDB or GMP and ./configure would
get confused about which one to pull from.  Be more specific.

Built with all variants enabled and fixed the fixable versions and variants:
@:8.1 were fixable by limiting python versions for these to @:3.6.
7.10.1 and 7.11(.1) were fixable to build with glibc-2.25 and newer
using two long patches.
gdb 7.8 and 7.9 weren't fixable as there is no backport if the fix
to build these with glibc-2.25 and newer:
