Ah, well, then I'm fresh out of wild guesses why it wasn't
noticed that the frv sim (and presumably all CGEN targets and
SIM_AC_OUTPUT users) fails building.  To make sure nothing had
crept in locally, I just rechecked; checked out a brand new
"gdb" and did "$srcdir/configure --target=frv-elf && make all"
elsewhere.  Host is i686-pc-linux-gnu (FC2), but I see this on
Debian Woody too:

... (from $build/sim)
configure: configuring in frv
configure: running /bin/sh '/home/hp/newgdb/src/sim/frv/configure' --prefix=/usr/local
'--cache-file=./config.cache' '--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu' '--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu' '--target=frv-elf' '--program-transform-name=s,^,frv-elf-,; ' '--srcdir=/home/hp/newgdb/src/sim' 'CC=gcc' 'CFLAGS=-g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=' 'build_alias=i686-pc-linux-gnu' 'host_alias=i686-pc-linux-gnu' 'target_alias=frv-elf' --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=/home/hp/newgdb/src/sim/frv
configure: loading cache .././config.cache
configure: error: cannot run
configure: error: /bin/sh
'/home/hp/newgdb/src/sim/frv/configure' failed for frv

Re-doing the configure and make step, changing the "all" to
"all-gdb" (as in gdb_mbuild.sh), causes the same failure.
