Hi Tom,

I don't know if you said this before of after seeing the patch I proposed here:

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00305.html

Ideally we'd have the exact same version as gcc.  But I chose not to blindly copy the
gcc version, because it causes other changes to the generated files, and I don't know
if they are desirable or not.  Also, there are some changes local to binutils-gdb that
should be either removed if no longer useful, or ported over to gcc.  In the interest
of fixing the reported issue without opening a pandora's box, I opted for the smallest
fix possible (which is still a small step towards syncing both versions).
