OK, I created a PR for this problem: gdb/1560. That made sense.

Here is what I ended up checkin in (I took Eli's previous message as an
approval of the contents of the new PROBLEMS entry).

        * PROBLEMS: Add description of problem documented under gdb/1560.

Err, your ChangeLog entry says "NEWS" instead of "PROBLEMS".
Also I would like to have a PR for the problem.
To me, the PR's are the nexus of information about known problems
with gdb.

That's just my opinion -- Eli Z is in charge of doco.
