[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/gdb: add dependency on host-textinfo

[Romain Naour]

Starting with gdb 7.10, gdb wants to re-generate its documentation.
We were trying to avoid that by patching the Makefiles, but it wasn't
working in all situations. So, we simply add a dependency on
host-texinfo in all case.

Fixes:

I prefer to keep this as is.

And just add host-texinfo here.

Applied with this modification. Thanks!
