| <p>Here is a summary of the <samp>configure</samp> options and arguments that |
| are most often useful for building <small>GDB</small>. <samp>configure</samp> also has |
| several other options not listed here. See <a href="../configure/What-Configure-Does.html#What-Configure-Does">(configure.info)What Configure |
| Does</a>, for a full explanation of <samp>configure</samp>. |

| <p>You may introduce options with a single ‘<samp>-</samp>’ rather than |
| ‘<samp>--</samp>’ if you prefer; but you may abbreviate option names if you use |
| ‘<samp>--</samp>’. |

| <dd><p><strong>Warning: using this option requires <small>GNU</small> <code>make</code>, or another |
| <code>make</code> that implements the <code>VPATH</code> feature.</strong><br> |
| Use this option to make configurations in directories separate from the |
| <small>GDB</small> source directories. Among other things, you can use this to |
| build (or maintain) several configurations simultaneously, in separate |
| directories. <samp>configure</samp> writes configuration-specific files in |
| the current directory, but arranges for them to use the source in the |
| directory <var>dirname</var>. <samp>configure</samp> creates directories under |
| the working directory in parallel to the source directories below |
| <var>dirname</var>. |

| propagate configuration to subdirectories. |

| <dd><p>Configure <small>GDB</small> for cross-debugging programs running on the specified |
| <var>target</var>. Without this option, <small>GDB</small> is configured to debug |
| programs that run on the same machine (<var>host</var>) as <small>GDB</small> itself. |
