From the TODO file:
--
Restructure gdb directory tree so that it avoids any 8.3 and 14
filename problems.
--
Can the xdep files be replaced by autoconf?
--
Convert GDB build process to AUTOMAKE.
See also sub-directory configure below.
The current convention is (kind of) to use $(<header>_h) in all
dependency lists. It isn't done in a consistent way.
--
Cleanup configury support for optional sub-directories.
Check how GCC handles multiple front ends for an example of how things
could work. A tentative first step is to rationalize things so that
all sub directories are handled in a fashion similar to gdb/mi.
See also automake above.
--
(I've included the others as they are about eliminating xdep* and fixing
the build process).
So yes.
Exactly how to do this is another problem entirely. Do we just
re-arange the deck chairs or look more deeply.
