That's a good point.  If my patch had made it into 5.3, then I'd be
tempted to send it to the GCC folks now, but 5.3 has been frozen so
that didn't happen.  I don't have enough experience with how GDB's and
GCC's release cycles work to know when it's best to submit it to GCC,
but I'm pretty leery about doing so until I have a good idea as to
when my patch will make it into a released version of GDB.
Especially since the matter at hand really is pretty unimportant, so
I don't think there's much reason to try to optimize the process in
this situation.

Yeah, so I heard.  So matters are progressing nicely on that front.
