No problem, my suggestion just reflects my unfamiliarity with the gdb
release process and schedule. Locally I've been building gdb-6.3 with
--program-suffix=-6.3 so that I could have more than one version
installed. But gdbserver installs as /usr/bin/gdbserver instead of
/usr/bin/gdbserver-6.3; I'll just apply the patch locally to work
around the problem.

Great, thanks.
