scripts/gdb: If not building expat for gdb, disable

--with-expat=yes is unconditionally passed to the gdb configure
stage, instead of respecting the ${do_expat} decision.

Disable if not needed. Prevents error building canadian cross;

configure: error: expat is missing or unusable

Where configure stage fails to find expat on the host compiler.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
