The gcc/ directory doesn't use automake, so all the copied rules would
still be needed; it's only the configure option and dummy rules in
automake directories that could be avoided.
The autoconf/automake upgrade needs coordinating across GCC, GDB,
binutils, newlib and probably other projects in src. This patch doesn't
(though the toplevel parts do need applying to both repositories at the
same time); install-pdf support can be added to GCC and GDB (neither of
which use automake) independently of the other projects.
