There was talk about doing something with the CVS modules making
up sim, and it looks like someone did: something CVS-specific
has been done resulting in sim checkout now broken (at least for
the admittedly old 1.11.5), whereas checkout (as such) before
that wasn't broken.

Last time a checkout worked was 2013-06-25-00:13:53 UTC, like
so, with the last lines of the output being:

... (more "U"s elided)
U src/include/elf/mips.h
cvs checkout: warning: src/config.if is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/configure.in is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/gettext.m4 is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltcf-c.sh is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltcf-cxx.sh is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltcf-gcj.sh is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltconfig is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/gdb/version.in is not (any longer) pertinent

(Though the cvs exit value 0 and fine.)

Then at 2013-06-25-18:03:41 UTC:

... (even more "U"s elided)
U src/include/opcode/mips.h
cvs checkout: warning: src/config.if is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/configure.in is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/gettext.m4 is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltcf-c.sh is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltcf-cxx.sh is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltcf-gcj.sh is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: warning: src/ltconfig is not (any longer) pertinent
cvs checkout: existing repository /cvs/src/CVSROOT/Emptydir does not match /cvs/src/src/gdb
cvs checkout: ignoring module src/gdb/version.in

(Here, the cvs exit value is indicating badness, as in
make: *** [update] Error 1
)

Can the action causing that Emptydir please be reverted?
And/or explained, maybe with a line indicating "better
switch to CVS-N.M".

Sorry for implicating you guys, but it's likely you know what
might have happened.  At least more so than I, at the moment. :)
