for installation; you can then use @samp{make} to actually build it.
The best way to build GDB is in a subdirectory that records the
configuration options used; this gives you a clean way of building
_GDBN__ binaries with several different configuration options.

config.gdb sun3os4
cd gdb-4.0
mkdir =sun3os4
cd =sun3os4
../config.gdb sun3os4
