Convert all GDB references to explicitly use the v3 toolchain

    • 2
    • Storage Engines - 2022-07-25

      Summary
      There are some places in the WT build process that reference /opt/mongodbtoolchain/gdb. All references to /opt/mongodbtoolchain/gdb should look for the gdb binary in /opt/mongodbtoolchain/v3/bin instead.

      Motivation

      • Does this affect any team outside of WT?
        We are doing the same thing for SERVER builds.
      • How likely is it that this use case or problem will occur?
        This affects all builds.
      • If the problem does occur, what are the consequences and how severe are they?
        The /opt/mongodbtoolchain/gdb path is very old and blocks our ability to deprecate the location in the v4 toolchain.
      • Is this issue urgent?
        No, but it should be done before WT moves off the v3 toolchain.

      Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)
      The /opt/mongodbtoolchain/gdb path is no longer referenced in the codebase.

      • Testing
        A debug build of WT should still succeed.
      • Documentation update
        No.

      [Optional] Suggested Solution
      All references to /opt/mongodbtoolchain/gdb should look for the gdb binary in /opt/mongodbtoolchain/v3/bin instead.
