This isn't the entire issue, but IWBN if when I have a combined app+cgen 
tree, (e.g. binutils+cgen) I can configure binutils and I get a Makefile 
in cgen so I can do, for example, "make info".   [To be honest, to me 
it's more than WBN.  I'd really like the top level configury support for 
cgen put back.  Please pretty please?]

btw, one thing that depresses me is that the hobbit code is lost.
The sourceware repository was set up afterwards.
Any chance you can do me a favor and dig it up from some internal archive?
