This simplfies the handling of subdirectories:

- puts "main.o" in libgdb.a
again ./gdb and ./tui always link against it

Doesn't this seem kind of strange? I've never heard of a library linking
in the main. Kind of makes it not general purpose. Why even link in a
library?

Check the source. It doesn't contain main(), rather just the logic needed to implement GDB's main.
