[M3devel] [M3Devel] m3gdb not automatically built on AMD64_LINUX

[jay.krell at cornell.edu]

I agree let it build by default. It can probably build on most  
platforms. The exceptions are nt386 and i think nt386mingnu. Nt386gnu  
can build it but cygwin is so generally slow and I never use m3gdb..on  
any platform..
