Yes.

You should not bother running cgen in this tedious way.  If you are
doing an opcodes port, use the infrastructure in place in the
src/opcodes/Makefile.{am,in} to run CGEN for you.  I think this point
has been discussed before.

  Shehryar> - Where are the output files located e.g.
  Shehryar> cgen-opc.[ch], cgen-desc.[ch]?

I believe there is an application-switch to specify where the
generated files should go.  Again, this is handled for you by the
opcodes Makefile.

  Shehryar> Hoping for an early response, beed it badly!

Sorry it took so long -- it was a three-day weekend.
