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 doc/gdbint.texinfo is out of date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
      CVS password:
      bash-2.05b$ cvs -z9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/gdbadmin co .
      cvs server: Updating .
      cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvs/gdbadmin' (/cvs/gdbadmin/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
      cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/gdbadmin'
      cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

    . checkout with my gdb developer identity fails:

      bash-2.05b$ cvs -z9 -d :ext:chastain@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/gdbadmin co .
      Enter passphrase for RSA key '/berman/home/mec/.ssh/identity':
      Warning: Remote host denied authentication agent forwarding.

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