[Bug build/10674] New: linux-nat.c:2879: error: ignoring return value of ‘fgets’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

["info at skierpage dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

On Kubuntu 9.04 amd64 "Jaunty" after executing path/to/gdb/configure then make,
I get:

gcc -c -g -O2   -I. -I/home/skierpage/programs/gdb-6.8/gdb

The offending line is 
          fgets (buffer, sizeof (buffer), procfile);

(Before you tell me to use the Ubuntu gdb package: the reason I'm building gdb
myself is to try to avoid gdb crashes in iterate_over_threads , possibly because
Ubuntu should have repackaged gdb for kernel and/or libc updates --
