Re: Fix in-src-tree builds by making gdbserver/gnulib/ a separate library (a la libiberty, etc.), and adding ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR.

To make clear I am curious how anyone can have two different directories of
the same name, I often use things like "find src -name foo" and do something
with it. I see there exist different preferences.

I would possibly be even for the re-consideration of moving to GIT and
possible changing topleveldir and therefore possibly introducing toplevel
gnulib and toplevel gdbserver as suggested by Doug etc. but in reality I would
like this problem fixed ASAP, I have installed temporary patch into my build
system, I have to base everyting off a special branch during development these
days, more difficulty on remote hosts etc.

Thanks,
Jan
