You are right, 'Regressions since gdb 5.3' is a terrible section heading. gdb/1091 'Constructor breakpoints ignored' and gdb/1193, 'g++ 3.3 creates multiple constructors: gdb 5.3 can't set breakpoints', are really a regression in gdb's behavior from gcc 2.95.3 to gcc 3.0, not from one gdb version to another gdb version. Perhaps 'Problems related to recent versions of gcc'? And then we could add doco about gdb/1537, 'anonymous union at function scope, gcc 3.4' and gdb/1540, 'gcc gcc-3_4-branch emits DW_OP_piece but gdb does not support it'.
