    Make init.c depend on source files
    
    I noticed that init.c depends on the object files that go into gdb.
    Because init.c actually only requires the contents of the
    corresponding source files, this unnecessarily serializes the step
    that builds init.c.
    
    This patch changes gdb's Makefile to make init.c depend on the source
    files.  This also simplifies the rule to build init.c.

    	* Makefile.in (INIT_FILES): Redefine.
    	(stamp-init): Remove sed, tr invocations.  Use for loop.  Don't
    	set LANG or LC_ALL.
