Yes, that's correct for amd64, where we didn't have a disassembler in 0.7.3, and used gdb instead.

This isn't valid for the current snapshot anymore, and we won't backport the disassembler to 0.7.3, so this is won't fix in 0.7.3.

Thanks for reporting.

gforth 0.7.3 fails to build on Ubuntu 20.04 unless gdb is installed. I've attached the final lines of the output of 'make'. The 'configure' script ran without complaint.

The build is running on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 instance, having run 'apt-get upgrade' and 'apt-get dist-upgrade', and having installed the 'build-essential' and 'm4' packages.

When I ran 'apt-get install gdb' and started over, the issue went away. 'configure', 'make', and 'make install' ran without issue, and a quick interactive test of gforth and gforth-fast ran fine.

Also, less seriously, the 'configure' script fails to detect when m4 (which is required for the build) is not installed.
