Nathanael,

Some heads up.

GDB requires an ISO C compiler and on some systems that involves running
the compiler with specific flags (-Ae, I think, on HP/UX?). The problem
is that GDB can't test/configure this directly. By time time it has a
say in the matter, it is too late. The top level will need to do this
very early on.

While GDB has a depencency on the SIM directory, it resolves it by
testing for ${srcdir)/../sim so that should be ok.

While INSIGHT has a dependency on tcl/tk, it appears to resolve it doing
some pretty agressive hunting. It looks in both ${srcdir} and `pwd`.
