A Python Exception error in gdb 7.10

Question

I have installed gdb 7.10 under Ubuntu 14.04 by compiling from the source as detailed in this answer (with the only exception that I copied the executable into /usr/bin). When I execute commands in gdb, I get the following error:

Python Exception <type 'exceptions.NameError'> Installation error: gdb.execute_unwinders function is missing:

What can I do to get rid of it?

What can I do to get rid of it?

GDB wants to install more than just the GDB binary. To make a complete installation, remove /usr/bin/gdb and do make install.

This worked. But why did they suggest to not perform make install in the comments to the linked answer?
