Re: gdb.c++ vs dos names

Well, the snapshot tarball has testsuite/gdb.*/Makefile files in it,
thus there are 8.3 conflicts in every testsuite directory. We're just
lucky that ARI saw a problem with gdb.c++/Makefile because of the
gdb.c++ part.

I can't read the script that makes the snapshot tarballs,
so I can't go any further.

. doc/gdbint.texinfo is out of date

. "make -f Makefile.in gdb.tar.gz" does not work now that
Makefile.in is autogen'ed, because it has plenty of @foo@ magic.

. "configure ; make gdb.tar.gz" fails because the top Makefile
no longer has any rules to make gdb.tar.gz or gdb.tar.

. gdbadmin is not accessible to me

. http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current has instructions for getting
the administration scripts, but they are not working

. checkout as anoncvs fails:

bash-2.05b$ cvs -z9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/gdbadmin login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:2401/cvs/gdbadmin

. checkout with my gdb developer identity fails:

These are doco and web bugs. Which of them would you like me to
file PR's on?
