How to set a configure option for the gdb subdirectory

I'm building gdb from source - I'd like to set an option specific to the gdb/configure script - not the top-level binutils-gdb/configure script

For example I'd like to set --with-separate-debug-dir or --enable-gdbmi

How do I do this?

Is there a way to pass sub-configure options for the gdb subdirectory to the top-level configure command?

Or do I run both the top-level binutils-gdb/configure and gdb/configure scripts?

If so do I run the top-level configure first and then the subdirectory configure or the other way around?

And do I make sure common options like --prefix are consistently set in both invocations or can I set --prefix for just the top-level configure and skip for the gdb sub-configure?
