This is regarding the last mail message where I reported nm failing on
valprint.o while trying to make gdb.  I ran make clean, then make
again.  This time nm failed on printcmd.o, so I removed it, and redid
make, then nm worked on printcmd.o and failed on symtab.o, so I
recompiled symtab.o, and then the make completed without error.

% make clean
