How can I uninstall gdb?

[Doug Evans]

bash$ cd $build/gdb
bash$ make uninstall

That will uninstall gdb (modulo bug 17180).
What it won't do is uninstall the other pieces that get installed.

The issue is implementing the top level uninstall rule to cd into each
subdir and recursively invoke make install.

I filed a bug on this issue:

For reference sake, there is also:
