Why are those generated source files checked into the repository and not 
generated at build-time? Would there be a reason for s390 do so as well 
(opcodes/s390-opc.tab is generated at build-time from 
opcodes/s390-opc.txt using s390-mkopc built from opcodes/s390-mkopc.c)?

Thanks and regards,
Jens
