I'm not a make expert, but I think this is more about passing variables
to sub-makes then about sub-dirs. Note how everything in FLAGS_TO_PASS
(before the gnulib changes) is just the unitary FOO=$(FOO).
So I think this is better, and actually cleaner, for keeping FLAGS_TO_PASS
as it was, the gnulib specifics closer to gnulib code, and actually adding a
comment just around the gnulib specific GNULIB_FLAGS_TO_PASS. :-)
BTW, is it really necessary to VPATH set to:
VPATH=$(abs_top_srcdir)/../gnulib:$(abs_top_srcdir)"
instead of just:
VPATH=$(abs_top_srcdir)/../gnulib"
I tried it, and things still appear to build fine. IOW, is there a case
where building gnulib would need to find something in the gdbserver source dir?

* Makefile.in (GNULIB_FLAGS_TO_PASS): New.
(FLAGS_TO_PASS): Don't change or set $top_srcdir, $srcdir and VPATH.
(all, uninstall, clean-info, all-lib, clean, maintainer-clean)
(realclean, distclean): Explicitly pass $GNULIB_FLAGS_TO_PASS to
the sub-make.
