This patch adds a per-objfile data mechanism to GDB, and uses that to

Cygwin appears to be affected by this, so we should definitely reach
some conclusion before 6.0.
Comments? OK to check this in? Do we want this on the release branch
too?
The concept is nice, but I share David's concern. The way you
implemented this, every objfile always pays the cost of the extra
storage; there's an abstraction benefit, but a memory and simplicity
penalty. I could go either way.
