One of the advantages of hacking on GDB vs GCC is that GDB degrades more
gracefully; it's rare for a GDB patch to completely break debugging,
while an innocent-looking GCC patch can bring the whole house of cards
down. Plus, we
don't have any dependencies pushing us to release on a particular date,
right? So I tend to think this would be OK for 7.4.
