Are they actually current?  If they are, I'll update them... last I

I was looking at the rules GCC uses today.  It looks like it would be
easy to migrate, but the Make goo involved is over my head.  Splitting
gdb.base in half and then parallelizing the rest at directory
granularity should do a lot of good on a modern 4-way or 8-way system.
