Right,

So by releasing 6.2._2_ in 2-3 weeks with this patch, and 6.2.1 today we
get a win-win. The MIPS fix isn't held up, and the i386 fix gets 2-3
more weeks to mature :-)

Fine by me. The impact of the problem isn't huge. Most people won't
see it since they're using DWARF2. But it'd be nice to fix it for
people who're still stuck with stabs.
