Fedora still carries http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gdb.git/tree/gdb-6.3-readnever-20050907.patch although considering to just drop it, IIUC it was used in the past because loading symbols was unusably slow in some cases but it is no longer needed thanks to gdbindex. But occasionally it still may be handy for example for benchmarking. Maybe "maintenance set load-symbols off" would cover all the needs? It should never be needed by regular users. Jan
