This doesn't work for me if I run it from outside the GDB source tree
(even after I correct the typo spotted by Jimmy Guo).  I think that
you need to say "$(infodir)/`basename $$i`" instead of just
"$(infodir)/$$i", for it to work.  (Do GNU standards allow to rely on
`basename' being present? I don't remember.)

I'm still not sure we should go this way, since when GDB is
Automake-ified, these tricks will go away, as Automake produces the
code that you suggest to change.
