I was aware of the obsolete files. As you correctly said i am refering to
the files that are excluded from the build due to the MK variables.

for example for MKGDB=no the files are usr/bin/{gdb,gdbtui},
usr/share/man/{cat1/gdb.0, gdb.html, man1/gdb.1} (in the comp set) and
usr/share/info/{gdb.info, gdbint.info, stabs.info} (in the man set)

Thank you again for replying.
