aren't they the same thing ?  i guess let's see.

gdb/CONTRIBUTE says:
o   Coding Standards

    All contributions must conform to the GNU Coding Standard.
    Submissions which do not conform to the standards will be
    returned with a request to reformat the changes.

which is what i thought ... but then there's this follow up:
    GDB has certain additional coding requirements.  Those
    requirements are explained in the GDB internals documentation
    in the gdb/doc directory.

except there's no gdbint.texinfo anymore.  let's check the website:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/
GDB Internals Manual (wiki only)
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/InternalsManual
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20GDB-C-Coding-Standards

ok, i guess there's a few more rules here.  having the sim follow those is 
fine.
