    Fix creation of nm.h when configure is changed
    
    My earlier patch -- commit c5adaa192 ("Fix creation of stamp-h by
    gdb's configure script") -- broke the creation of nm.h.  In
    particular, configure removes nm.h, so if you touch configure and
    rebuild, nothing will re-create the link, breaking the build.
    
    This patch fixes the bug, and also updates configure.ac to use
    AC_CONFIG_LINKS, rather than the obsolete AC_LINK_FILES.
    
    Finally, I noticed that gcore is in generated_files in the
    Makefile.in.  I think this is incorrect, as generated_files is only
    needed for files that can be the target of a #include.  So, this patch
    removes it.

    	* configure.ac (nm.h): Conditionally create nm.h link.  Subst
    	NM_H.   Use AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
    	* configure: Rebuild.
    	* Makefile.in (NM_H): New variable.
    	(generated_files): Add NM_H.  Remove gcore.
    	(nm.h, stamp-nmh): New targets.
