  Restructure gdb directory tree so that it avoids any 8.3 and 14
  filename problems.

  Can the xdep files be replaced by autoconf?

  Convert GDB build process to AUTOMAKE.

  See also sub-directory configure below.

  The current convention is (kind of) to use $(<header>_h) in all
  dependency lists.  It isn't done in a consistent way.

  Cleanup configury support for optional sub-directories.

  Check how GCC handles multiple front ends for an example of how things
  could work.  A tentative first step is to rationalize things so that
  all sub directories are handled in a fashion similar to gdb/mi.

  See also automake above.

(I've included the others as they are about eliminating xdep* and fixing
the build process).

So yes.

Exactly how to do this is another problem entirely.  Do we just
re-arange the deck chairs or look more deeply.
