Yeah, I tried to apply it too.
I want to see if it helps with how I should approach some performance
concerns (short of a symbol table rewrite).

It applies ok if you check out the tree when Tom made the patch, 2011-11-10.
E.g., cvs co -D2011-11-10 gdb
But then you miss out on some recent changes of course.

I'm all for getting this into 7.4 btw.
