Definitely my perception as well. On the #gdb IRC channel, for example, it's rare for people to come in saying they've built a new gdb themselves for native debugging. Most often they'll be using the (old) system one, or maybe have gotten one from some binary side channel, like macports.org. It's in the embedded space where it's more frequent to hear about uses of newer gdb on old host systems. Still on that space most people prefer to use prebuilt and validated packages. And then people that build such toolchains themselves will most often be using recipe systems that scripts downloading and building everything, like crosstool-ng for example. Thanks, Pedro Alves
