IWBN if one could build a simulator in src/sim without requiring the gdb sources in src/gdb. This is doable today (for the sim I tried, m32r) with one nit: src/gdb/version.in. A cronjob could periodically update src/sim/common/version.in from src/gdb/version.in, for example. That would still leave updating the file for releases, but if there was a script that was run to help prep a release, it could also copy src/gdb/version.in to src/sim/common/version.in. I'm fine with things being the way they are, but the topic has come up, so I'm pinging the community for opinions.
