H.J. is right here.  For GDB and BINUTILS, generated files are created 
in the BUILD tree - see c-exp.tab.c et.al. in GDB.  The release process 
then uses smoke and mirrors to get those generated files bundled into a 
distro.

Given that this has all worked for longer than I remember - GDB also 
gets complaints about .gmo files being put in the [ro] src tree - I 
can't think why these files should be handled differently.

Which reminds me, gdb/394.
