Maybe, although there are risks in using a snapshot from a random date. I had
been thinking more of just applying these patches to a stable release,
presumably 7.4.1. They aren't substantial patches really.

If there is a 7.4.2 it would be very unlikely to contain these patches. It
would be a bugfix release only from the 7.4 branch - I only applied my patches
to the trunk and would need separate approval from the release manager to apply
them to the 7.4 branch (which I doubt I would get). We would need to wait for a
GDB 7.5, and that won't be happening any time soon. The most important thing
for us getting them committed is so that we would have certainty that a future
GDB 7.5 (and later) would continue to work.
