Status of gcc/intl and src/intl?

Hi Zack,

I saw your message about an intl/ update:

  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2003-07/msg00032.html

Here's my story.  Gdb has a build problem, PR gdb/857, which is about
intl/Makefile.in and the lack of a few files in the 'distclean' rule.  I
started working on this and I noticed that gcc/intl is a lot newer than
src/intl.

My plan is to add a few lines of kludgery to the top level src-release
file and not touch src/intl/Makefile.in at all, on the grounds that
src/intl is about to get a big upgrade soon anyways.  The specific
kludgery is a couple of lines like 'rm -f intl/config.cache' and 'rm -f
intl/stamp-h'.  I think this will be benign if an upgrade happens.

I just wanna make sure that my plan is okay in light of whatever's
going on with src/intl these days.  Can you comment on the status
of that?

Thanks,

Michael C
