[Jan] Fix gdb.cp/gdb2495.exp regression with gcc-4.7
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00357.html 1/2
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00358.html 2/2
- This is not a regression of GDB itself but it is a regression of the whole
GNU toolchain. There is missing some protection against stale breakpoints
on stack (ON_STACK) after longjmps/throws (I do not remember it much now).
I use in Fedora these patches.

[Jan] workaround stale frame_info * ( http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13866 )
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-04/msg00058.html
- some proper fix will almost sure not get into 7.5 so maybe to fix "finish"
crashes the workaround could be even applied for FSF GDB HEAD?
I use in Fedora this workaround.
