Consider these steps: $ tar -xf gdb-16.1.tar.xz $ cd gdb-16.1 $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ../configure $ make all This will fail due to issues with the bfd docs; the pre-generated .texi files are not symlinked into the build tree correctly. The above is not how we recommend building GDB in gdb/README, our suggestion is instead: $ tar -xf gdb-16.1.tar.xz $ cd gdb-16.1 $ ./configure $ make all This works just fine as the pre-generated .texi files are already in the expected location, and no symlinks need to be created. Additionally, in the first case, if you configure with an absolute path then everything will work fine. I've posted a fix to the bfd tree here: https://inbox.sourceware.org/binutils/40a989ffc81a9b07b5dd70f00521dd2171d7a200.1737465905.git.aburgess@redhat.com If/when this is merged I do plan to back-port this to the gdb-16-branch, but given the build following the suggested steps works fine, I'm not sure this justifies a follow up release. But I wanted to raise this for discussion. Thanks, Andrew
