In normal projects I am not used to.  In GDB I do "make clean" but it may not
be fully reliable, I believe there is more broken in GDB build system.

But even if you do just first configure it is now broken in GDB as the files
get inappropriately distributed.

They depend on config.h which gets regenerated.

Maybe if you only change CFLAGS and config.h stays the same (and it preserves
its timestamp). you would need `make clean'.

We can stamp etc. GDBvn.texi if it is a concern (I do not find it so).

Both files are generated from gdb/doc/Makefile.
