When I produced the GDB distro, I manually edited the generated
Makefile's to replace the path to build directory with
/dev/env/DJDIR/gnu/gdb-<VERSION>.

I don't see any easy way to do that automatically, since the
configuration scripts are specifically made to hard-wire the
directories into the Makefile's.

Probably because whoever prepared the source distribution ran makeinfo
with the --no-split option.  Make only looks at the existance of the
*.info files, it doesn't care about *.info-NN files.  The original
GNU source distribution of GDB does have the 16 files you produced,
not the single gdb.info, though.

Note that having *.info-NN files is bad for the 8+3 filesystems, you
need *.iNN files instead.
