That was introduced by Khem with the commit message of "gdb: Upgrade to
7.11", so clearly we should have validated that the hash matches the tag
and that there wasn't the option of a tarball.

For master we can obviously take a 7.11.1 upgrade, for morty there is a
case to be made that a git clone is sufficiently huge and inconvenient for
users who are not tracking master that an upgrade to get the tarball is
reasonable.
