They are used by the new "i386-cfiles" target.

You need a working gdb for your target with XML support to generate
those C files for gdbserver. That is why XMLTOC is empty and GDB
is false. To generate those C files, you have to do

# make cfiles GDB="your new GDB" XMLTOC="your XML files"

I added this target so that I can do

# make i386-cfiles GDB="my new GDB"

to generate i386 C files for gdbserver without specifying XMLTOC at
command line. It is very convenience for maintenance.
