Just as a reminder, can we please coordinate so that GDB 7.7 is released
before binutils 2.24?

On the MIPS target we've switched PLT formats produced by LD for MIPS16
and microMIPS binaries and for correct frame unwinding GDB has to
understand them. Otherwise it'll fail in odd ways, e.g. when stepping
over a function called via PLT. Of course all code required is there in
our shared repository, it's just a matter of making the releases in the
right order so that ordinary developers have a version of GDB to upgrade
to available if needed.

Thanks,

Maciej
