I am using GNU Stow to manage installations of different packages and different versions of those.
I already have GDB 8.0.1 installed using that flow. But when I try to install GNU binutils using the same flow, it fails because these files are the exact same between the two installations:
include/ansidecl.h
include/bfd.h
include/bfdlink.h
include/dis-asm.h
include/plugin-api.h
include/symcat.h
lib/libbfd.a
lib/
libbfd.la lib/libopcodes.a

libopcodes.la share/info/

So, which versions should I keep.. the ones installed by GDB or the ones by binutils?
Thanks.
