Probably a bit late, but I'd also like to get these fixes upstream
before the branch:
* gdb/21220 "restore" for large data structures extremely slow on
GNU/Linux
A regression from last year that renders "restore" for large data
structures unusable on GNU/Linux. Proposed fix is available.
* gdb/21226 DW_OP_stack_value pieces yield wrong data on big-endian
targets
Causes wrong values to be displayed for certain variables on big-endian
targets. Not a recent regression, but potentially causes severe
headaches for people running into it. Proposed fix is available.
