Actually, the mechanism I suggested could be incorporated in any
case.  The GDB build process should always check the checksums of the
XML input files against those stored in the files built from them,
simply to remind developers when they need to regenerate the C files.
It's just a good general principle for dealing with pre-generated
files.
