Since then I have been wondering why we need build infrastructure in common/ at all. It seems to me that it can cause problems, but conversely doesn't provide much benefit. My reasoning is based on the fact that we are going to be building two libraries for the foreseeable future. It seems to me that it would be simpler to just integrate the common/ build rules into gdbserver/Makefile.in and gdb/Makefile.in. What do you think of that? I may write a patch to do it. Tom
