I just double-checked, it is part of the release tarball. The only scenario that I can think of that might lead to this problem would be that the timestamp of ada-lex.c somehow became earlier than the timestamp of ada-lex.l, so the Makefile determined that ada-lex.c should be rebuilt. When I unpacked the sources from gnu.org on a linux machine, the timestamps were in the right order. While we look at this, the obvious workaround that would work, assuming my theory is right, would be to "touch gdb/ada-lex.c" before doing the build. -- Joel
