Note that if you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode, you will need
special versions of automake, autoconf, libtool and gettext. You will
find the sources for these in ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/binutils.

+Note - "make distclean" does not work with maintainer mode enabled.
+The Makefiles in the some of the po/ subdirectories depend upon the
+Makefiles in their parent directories, and distclean will delete the
+Makefiles in the parent directories before running the Makefiles in
+the child directories. There is no easy way around this (short of
+changing the automake macros) as these dependencies need to exist in
+order to correctly build the NLS files.
