Tom> Perhaps rmdir||true will be more to your liking.

How's this?

    Fix gdb snapshots
    
    Joel pointed out that gdb snapshots were broken by my Makefile patch
    series.  The bug is that rmdir in distclean was failing, because the
    directories in question did not exist.  This fixes the problem by
    ignoring errors from rmdir.
    
    Tested using "src-release.sh gdb".

            * Makefile.in (distclean): Handle the case where rmdir fails.
