I'm about to start testing, but... see below

I'm afraid waiting for 7.5 would be too long.

I wander that provided that we patch 7.4.1 and we test it and it works for us,
could then we consider it our release? It will bear mark "eCos GNU tools 4.6.3"
so there will be no confuse with "standard" GDB 7.4.1.
