Thank you. I thought this was the right thing to do because I have
been bitten by not doing this in the past. Indeed, "Open Source
Development with CVS" suggests putting "update -d -P" in the .cvsrc
file, which I had not done, and now won't :-) I take it that the
reason this is different for binutils is the paragraph in README:
<quote reformmatted="true">
If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file
gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if
with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you
info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to
report bugs, etc.

i.e there can be so many things associated with it that there will
be other directories in there. I did some more reading about cvs
last night and understand this much better than I did.
The (sub)thread "cvs checkout and build of binutils" seems to
suggest that I should be using checkout only. Is it worth putting
this in the README, or even adding a README-cvs about this? The
only mention of cvs update I see in the tree is src/gdb/CONTRIBUTE.
