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? -- Joel
