./configure; make; ./configure; time make
real 0m12.498s
./configure; make; time make
real 0m0.976s
make gdb.info; rm gdb.info; time make gdb.info

I do not see the point playing with gdb.info build optimization. It makes the
currently situation worse only by 3.4%.

The same optimization should be applied first to version.in / version.c as
currently whole gdb + gdbtui get relinked. This is outside of the scope of
this patch.

Or which operation would you like optimized?
