>Description:
gdb/doc/gdbint.texinfo
@section Configuring @value {GDBN} for Release
@cindex preparing a release
@cindex making a distribution tarball

This section says:

  make -f Makefile.in gdb.tar.gz

That doesn't work any more since the top-level configure/make rewrite.  Makefile.in is no longer usable directly by 'make'.

Configuring the top level directory does not help.  The generated Makefile has no goals for 'gdb.tar' or 'gdb.tar.gz'.
