This patch broke my sim autotester, which uses the "sim" cvs module, which naturally does not include gdb/version.in. Now requiring gdb for sim just for stating a version number seems awkward (for a package with this loose connection). > +version.c: Makefile ../../gdb/version.in Could it be done some other way? For example with a placeholder sim/version.in automatically updated from (depending on) gdb/version.in? Or just having a separate sim/version.in? brgds, H-P
