Is there something specific in 4.7 you are waiting for? 4.6 is probably
good enough -- it has the biggest improvement (VTA -- first in 4.5) plus
a few more -- but I don't know of anything so major that would advise
skipping 4.6.
In practice I build gdb with -O0 when I want to debug. Occasionally I
just rebuild a single .o this way. VTA is good, but when debugging I
care about 100% visibility into the source and nearly zero about
performance.
