Yes.

Perhaps it is not necessary, but the real problem is that gdb-ui.el
cannot be compiled on a system where define-fringe-bitmap is not
defined.  That is a Bad Thing, IMHO, and that is the problem we should
fix.

Can the use of define-fringe-bitmap moved to the run-time rather than
compile time?
