OK, then ... wouldn't it be better to install this header into a
versioned directory, say
$(includedir)/gdb-$(GDB_VERSION)
or
$(includedir)/gdb/$(GDB_VERSION)
?
Otherwise this file will conflict with other gdbs' versions of this file when having different versions of gdb installed in parallel[1] and should this file change in future versions of gdb.
