The following patches contain a few improvements and cleanups to the
gdb
Makefile. The starting point is when I wondered why we had to write
individual
rules for each source file that is located in a subdirectory. I think
it's
unnecessary verbose, and those rules could be replaced with pattern
rules.
That's patch 2. Patch 1 is just a small change to use pattern rules
instead
of suffix rules.
Patches 3 and 4 are cleanups of things that have slightly annoyed me
for some
time, and I thought now would be a good time to make those changes.
Hmm, all the patches went through quickly except #4, and I didn't get
any bounce message. Until the mystery is resolved, here is the
corresponding commit:
