These changes (there are some opcodes disassembler updates as well) were originally committed to binutils as two separate features, but I've decided there's no point in keeping them such in the GDB 7.6 backport. Their PLT parts are closely related (unlike their GAS and LD pieces). I'm not sure who has the authority to approve this change for GDB 7.6 though. Maciej
