I think it'd be nice if the following patch made it for 6.1:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2003-11/msg00468.html

This patch adds support for DW_TAG_subrange_type DIEs that are
emitted by GCC for some Ada types (modular types, and also
enumeration subtypes). Admitedly Ada support has not been merged
in yet, but this prevents I think an error that causes at least
a complaint, and maybe even an internal error (don't remember
anymore).

(there are actually 2 patches: Andreas' and mine - mine is a bit more
complete than Andreas', but that may be unnecessary completeness.
I implemented it half mechanically, and was content when I found that
it worked :).
