Could you say exactly what you are doing?  Did you do a fresh checkout?
Or check out into an existing source tree?  If the latter, was that tree
populated using a different module previously?


Indeed, if I run the same "cvs co sim" command twice, the second time I
get:

cvs checkout: existing repository /cvs/src/CVSROOT/Emptydir does not match /cvs/src/src/gdb

... but cvs still exits with status 0 for me.

I'm using cvs 1.11.23.  I suppose you could try upgrading, but I don't
know whether that would help or not.

Maybe I can reproduce the exit failure with more information.


Not sure what else to do.
Maybe have sim not depend on this file of gdb's.
