Yes of course, BUT:

Without many modifications in the sources, it is not possible to make
GDB without all this big unneeded stuff. Example:

coffread.c calls a coffstab_build_psymtabs() which is in dbxread.c. There
are called many functions from stabsread.c and elfstab_build_psymtabs()
which is in elfread.c and so on...

There is also many other unneeded stuff which is handled in a similiar
way.
