Absolutely! - This never hit me, as I always build out-of-tree

Unfortunately - Nacked on the principle of the comment in the top of the
.gitignore file:

# NOTE! Don't add files that are generated in specific
# subdirectories here. Add them in the ".gitignore" file
# in that subdirectory instead.

Could you fix this up (meaning add to the .gitignore under
scripts/gdb/linux) and resend please?

Then I'll add to my queue to send as fixes for current.
(which I'm hoping to get sent before the weekend, or at the weekend)
