H.J. is right here. For GDB and BINUTILS, generated files are created
in the BUILD tree - see c-exp.tab.c et.al. in GDB. The release process
then uses smoke and mirrors to get those generated files bundled into a
distro.
Given that this has all worked for longer than I remember - GDB also
gets complaints about .gmo files being put in the [ro] src tree - I
can't think why these files should be handled differently.
Which reminds me, gdb/394.
