            Bug ID: 16328
           Summary: GDB/Binutils should not install configure.info
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: external
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ludo at gnu dot org

For historical reasons the 'src' tree installs configure.info.  However, that
file has become partly obsolete, and if it were to be updated and distributed,
the Autoconf project may be in a better position to do that.

Thus, it seems best to stop distributing it with GDB/Binutils, and instead
possibly hand over maintenance to Autoconf---see the discussion at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2013-12/msg00007.html> and
Karl's conclusion at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2013-12/msg00015.html>.
