I disagree.

Having a separate file like this seems clearer to me.  These bits are
like "cp-tree.def"; an extension to a list of existing nodes.  Also,
if you generate these at configure time then when you add a mode
(admittedly almost never) you have to rerun configure.

The patch is OK for the mainline, assuming testing goes OK and that
you honor Joseph's request regarding sourcebuild.texi.

Thanks,
