Hello,
In using gdb_mbuild.sh on a machine with lots of disk space (> 2gb free)
I've found things work even better if none of the build directories are
removed. Instead relying on gdb/Makefile's dependencies to do a correct
re-build after a change.
To this end, I'd like to propose a new option (-n?) that indicates that
the directory should not be removed at the end of the build and instead
the target should just be [re-]made.
Thoughts, especially on the option letter? I don't like -n that much.
-k is already taken for `make -k'.
Thoughts?

While at it, given the SH:
make | tee logfile
does anyone know of a way to determine the exit status of the `make'
instead of the `tee'?

PS: CFLAGS='-O -g0' gdb_mbuild.sh can help with disk space size.
However, I don't excactly know what the difference would be.
