How to build gdb and gdbserver

So let's see if I have this right. I have the powerpc-linux tree built
using build-crossgcc.sh in /usr/local/cross-linux-tools.  Would the
following do what you think it should:

export PATH=/usr/local/cross-linux-tools/bin:$PATH
cd foo
tar zxf ~/src/gdb-5.0.tar.gz
mkdir build-gb
cd build-gdb
../gdb-5.0/configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix=/usr/local/cross-linux-tools
make all install
../gdb-5.0/configure --host=powerpc-linux --prefix=/usr/local/cross-linux-tools
cd gdb/gdbserver
make all

And in this directory i should have a gdbserver, right?
