Anyway what I do is make a symlink to the cgen source tree in the binutils-gdb source tree, then configure with --enable-cgen-maint. Then I make sure to build with 'make GUILE=guile3.0'. It could be better but that would require someone to actually work on cgen. Eric> And then in bfd there's that chew Eric> program in the doc subdir.

They're written to be seamless -- just invoke in the source dir; the output is then just part of your patch. No special configure options are needed. On the whole this has been a big improvement.
