I assume the problems here are C macros confusion/conflict, mentioned in
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-02/msg00466.html
AFAICS, the conflict can not happen. When building libcommon, config.h
is used from parent directory (gdb or gdbserver). GDB_INCLUDE in
common/configure.ac makes sure correct directories are included.
The only problem I can see is this:
#ifdef GDBSERVER
#include "server.h"
#else
#include "defs.h"
#include "gdb_string.h"
#endif
#ifndef GDBSERVER
enum target_signal
target_signal_from_command (int num)
...
#endif
However, IMO, it is not a configure/make problem. The real problem here
is we include some gdb-specific code in common. We can fix this problem
by moving gdb-specific part to gdb/ dir. Patch attached is for this
purpose.

The goal of this piece of work is to remove duplicated source code, and
merge them together. However, the complexity of configure/make is
underestimated. I am not objecting to Tom's approach, because it is simple.
Personally, I still prefer a separated configure/makefile in common/,
because,
1. if my patch works, configure/make is not a problem,
2. if we look forward, there should be quite a few *.c and *.h files in
common in the future. Write rules in both gdb/Makefile.in and
gdbserver/Makefile.in doesn't scale.
I am sorry if this change makes some troubles, but it is a right
direction we have to go. In short, please review my approach again, and
I am not objecting to Tom's approach.
