One of the advantages of hacking on GDB vs GCC is that GDB degrades more 
gracefully; it's rare for a GDB patch to completely break debugging, 
while an innocent-looking GCC patch can bring the whole house of cards 
down.  Plus, we
don't have any dependencies pushing us to release on a particular date, 
right?  So I tend to think this would be OK for 7.4.
