That results in common/tdesc.h and gdbserver/tdesc.h
That’s not a problem by itself, because we can just prefix the dir
name as part of the include.

My next set of patches will then add common/tdesc.c.
This is slightly more tricky because we now build two tdesc.o files.
The gdbserver IPA rules will need tweaking, and I’m not sure the OBS
list will work as it is (given it doesn’t have any dir names).

Like you, I wasn’t sure if there was a naming convention for common/.
In the end I went with the easiest solution :)

Thanks for reviewing!
