Simon pointed out I failed to actually make the change.
Haha.

    Fix gdb snapshots
    
    Joel pointed out that gdb snapshots were broken by my Makefile patch
    series.  The bug is that rmdir in distclean was failing, because the
    directory did not exist.  This fixes the bug by only invoking rmdir when
    the directory exists.
    
    Tested using "src-release.sh gdb".

            * Makefile.in (distclean): Handle the case where rmdir fails.

Since this is in distclean, we know that clean will have ran before, and 
thus .deps will be empty by now, is that right?  In my original reply, I 
got confused and thought that the problem was that .deps was non-empty, 
when the problem was actually that it was not present (my bad for not 
reading carefully your log).

If so, that version with the if looks good to me.  My suggestion to do 
"[ -d ... ] && rmdir ..." would not have worked, because it would have 
returned a non-zero exit code and stopped the execution just like the 
current code.

Thanks,

Simon

Yes.

Thanks, but no big deal, everything is fine.

Simon> If so, that version with the if looks good to me.

I'm checking it in.
