There are two common dirs in build tree, under gdb/ and gdbserver/
respectively, so it is not a problem to run 'make distclean' on top of
gdb build tree.

When building native gdb, it is redundant here to build libcommon.a for
the same target twice, but given gdb and gdbserver should be built
separately, we have to build libcommon.a separately.  Yes, we can think
of a method to build libcommon.a once when building a native gdb.
