If you "make" from scratch in gdbserver/, you'll notice that make
deletes the files it considers as intermediary at the end:
$ make clean && make
...
rm i386-mmx-linux-generated.c x32-avx-avx512-linux-generated.c ...
Then, if you type make again, make will rebuild these files and rebuild
gdbserver. To avoid this, we can add the .SECONDARY special target. If
it has no pre-requisites, all intermediary files will be kept.
