I have filed now:
--with-system-readline uses bundled readline include files
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17077
To see any effect of the patch below you have to do:
rm -rf readline
Otherwise readline include files get used the bundled ones from GDB which are
currently 6.2 while system readline may be 6.3 already.
You also have to use system readline-6.3 including its upstream patch:
[Bug-readline] Readline-6.3 Official Patch 5
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2014-04/msg00018.html
Message-ID: <140415125618.AA57598.SM@caleb.ins.cwru.edu>
In short it happens on Fedora Rawhide since:
readline-6.3-1.fc21
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=538941
The error is:
../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:132:1: error: 'Function' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
static Function *tui_old_rl_getc_function;
^
../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:133:1: error: 'VFunction' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]

It is since bash change:
lib/readline/rltypedefs.h
- remove old Function/VFunction/CPFunction/CPPFunction typedefs as
suggested by Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
The new typedefs used below are present in readline/rltypedefs.h since:

types.
