i run Gentoo and then some.  tooling versions are almost never an issue (unless 
they're too new).  in this case i had a GNUmakefile in a subdir lying around 
that confused things.  not that the error maked sense:
...
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/local/src/gnu/gdb/libiberty/testsuite'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'info'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/gnu/gdb/libiberty/testsuite'
make: Nothing to be done for 'info'.
make: *** No rule to make target 'info'.  Stop.

the source repos aren't going to split, so i don't think we should spend time on 
the git side.  there's no reason though we couldn't bundle version.c in the sim/ 
tree and drop gdb/ entirely.
