On my end of things, I actually do not like the multiple layers of
miniature configure scripts. These things just keep doing the same
checks over and over for the most part.  It's particularly visible
on Windows, were configure takes ages because spawning a script is
utterly inefficient.  (and as such, Tom's proposal to remove the
configure script in gdb/testsuite seems like a good idea to me too)

That being said, as long as it works, it's not of uber importance
to me but I am not certain that argument number 2 above from Yao
really is that much work. So, if we fix things fast, I do not mind
continuing with the present approach. (does anyone know what the
remaining issues are, though?)
