Sadly, when I try the builds with the exact same configure line, my build works!

make[4]: *** No rule to make target `../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbserver/common/btrace-common.c'. Stop.

Looks like make is picking up the wrong rule for the common dir - it’s trying to compile from inside gdbserver.
I think this is an issue with different versions of make working differently. Sigh. I’ll force my make version and debug.
