Binutils and GDB

[Stephen Biggs]

Greetings all,

I apologize for what will probably seem a hopelessly clueless and newbie
question, but I am stuck, so here goes:

I notice that the GDB source tree has a lot of what seems to be almost
identical code in common with the binutils source tree.  I have made
some changes to the binutils 2.14 source tree, specifically in the BFD
and opcodes directories that I wish to integrate into GDB.  How do I do
this with the minimum amount of effort?  Is there a way to tell the GDB
configure to not configure the GDB's bfd, rather use another already
built BFD library? How, if so?

Thanks for any help.
