Greetings,

During the build phase, the package tries to INSTALL_DATA with this statement:

        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(SRC_GDB_HOOKS) $(BUILDPYTHON)-gdb.py

This is installing a file within the work directory which ends up with 
"install: python.exe-gdb.py: chown/chgrp: Operation not permitted". (At least 
on Mac OS X.) The above statement resolves to:

        /usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./Tools/gdb/libpython.py 
python.exe-gdb.py

This is a common problem I encountered with other packages as well. When a 
package tries to do INSTALL_xxx in build phase, INSTALL_xxx has to be replaced 
with "cp".

Kind regards,
Adam
