It would be a good start.

A general problem in gdb is that we aren't always aware of what hosts
users build on -- we can't distinguish "no report because it just kept
working" from "no report because there are no more users".

Joel builds on some odd hosts, maybe he could say what versions of make
he uses.  Likewise perhaps the Sourcerers.
