Here's an example of the effect of the patch I just posted to
gdb-patches.  With an unpatched GDB, load gdb on a Linux system and run
"disas captured_main":

0x0807c0ac <captured_main+76>:  mov    %eax,0x4(%esp)
0x0807c0b0 <captured_main+80>:  movl   $0x5,(%esp)
0x0807c0b7 <captured_main+87>:  call   0x807b3a0 <_init+952>
0x0807c0bc <captured_main+92>:  movl   $0x0,(%esp)
0x0807c0c3 <captured_main+99>:  mov    $0x8239443,%eax
0x0807c0c8 <captured_main+104>: mov    %eax,0x4(%esp)
0x0807c0cc <captured_main+108>: call   0x807b3a0 <_init+952>

With the patch applied:

0x0807c0ac <captured_main+76>:  mov    %eax,0x4(%esp)
0x0807c0b0 <captured_main+80>:  movl   $0x5,(%esp)
0x0807c0b7 <captured_main+87>:  call   0x807b3a0 <setlocale@plt>
0x0807c0bc <captured_main+92>:  movl   $0x0,(%esp)
0x0807c0c3 <captured_main+99>:  mov    $0x8239443,%eax
0x0807c0c8 <captured_main+104>: mov    %eax,0x4(%esp)
0x0807c0cc <captured_main+108>: call   0x807b3a0 <setlocale@plt>

This doesn't work absolutely everywhere, of course.  It requires
target-specific support inside BFD.
