I'm OK but slightly hesitant to introduce a .gitignore for files that
are compilation artifacts, not development artifacts.  If we start
on that road, the list is possibly quite long.

I believe that we should encourage people to compile GDB using
a build directory that is different from the source directory.
Except I don't know why I think that! :-). I know that I have been
told that this should be the cannonical way of building GNU projects,
and that the in-source build might one day become unsupported.
I just know that I find it more convenient, precisely because
it avoids polluting my source tree with such build artifacts.

What do people think?
