Folks, sorry for the huge patch I've sent, what is the recommended
sizelimit after which one should rather push to some public git tree?

To cite Gnulib docs:
``This function is missing on some platforms: HP-UX 11.11, IRIX 6.5,
OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 7, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS''

TBH, I have no idea how to check that, I couldn't find any specific
versions of the systems Gdb is supposed to support.
