Yes, that's what I was trying to say.

Yes, which is why I wrote: "I had been thinking more of just applying these
patches to a stable release, presumably 7.4.1."

We will already be applying my other GDB patches as well (for avoiding
backtrace loops, as well as the workaround for NULL frames), so it wouldn't be
a standard GDB anyway.

That prompted me to have a look at the build scripts you attached to this bug
and I noticed a little thing... You should also configure all the tools with:
