You may need to install some development packages with header files needed to build gdb. The exact package list depends on error messages from ./configure and make. Here is installed package list on my system:

[root@host ~]# rpm -qa "*devel"
kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
ncurses-devel-5.6-12.20070812.fc8
python-devel-2.5.1-15.fc8
expat-devel-2.0.1-2
libtirpc-devel-0.1.7-12.fc8
glibc-devel-2.7-2
libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-33
[root@host ~]#

Try to install all of them with yum.
