More generally, I wish gdb had documentation about which compilers,
assemblers, and linkers that gdb supports, especially for C++.

Personally, I take the view that I prefer to test-bed gdb with other
Free Software.  Specifically that means these licenses:

  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses

I don't know what FSF policy is on this.
