Hello,

The attached patch forces the very early initialization of gdbtypes. This in turn stops problems with code trying to refer to uninitialized gdbtype data.

The ``correct fix'' is for gdbtypes to initialize itself on-demand. Unfortunatly, at present the language files contain static initializers that take the address of these global gdbtype variables :-(

PS: I'll fill in the pr number and commit it once I've got notification back from prms.

I've checked this in.

BTW, was also a hiccup with GDB's bug database but that has been fixed (thanks to JasonM and ChrisF).
