So, to sum up a questions:
1)How it is possible to build gdb alone without building all the
other programs coming with it?
Assuming you want to not build libbfd, libiberty, libreadline, etc.,
but instead use installed versions, then the answer is: Not currently.
2)If it is impossible to build gdb alone, what could i do so that gdb
will get installed into a separate directory, specified as a prefix,
while all the others will get installed into other directory (or
every one into it's own custom directory)?
Daniel.
What I would suggest is *first* configure the entire tree to the
"throw away" location, *then* reconfigure those portions you want to
keep to a different location. From your writeup, it sounded like you
were doing the reverse.
Note: if you want to install just gdb and not the other stuff, then
after a successfull make from the top level, you should be able to
just cd into the gdb subdirectory and type "make install" to have just
the gdb stuff installed without installing libbfd/libreadline/etc.
