I think it's fine to assume GNU make, Makefile.gnulib.inc already seems
to with its use of $(error)


Anyway, one idea is to replace GNULIB_BUILDDIR with a variable that just
indicates how to reach top-of-entire-tree from the Makefile in question,
like:

# gdb or whatever sets:
top_of_tree = ../..

# gnulib does:
GNULIB_BUILDDIR = $(top_of_tree)/gnulib
INCGNU = -I$(srcdir)/$(top_of_tree)/gnulib/import


>> This file isn't actually used any more by gdb.

Mike> seems to be ?  gdb/Makefile.in & gdbserver/Makefile.in have:

Ugh, sorry.  grep fail by me.
