I see now that this is what Apple do:

  if (i1 > 0)
    {
      int accept_all;
      if (ui_out_is_mi_like_p (uiout))
  	  accept_all = 1;
      else
	  accept_all = 0;

      /* There is more than one field with that name
	   (overloaded).  Ask the user which one to use.  */
      return decode_line_2 (sym_arr, i1, i1, funfirstline, accept_all,
                             canonical);
    }
 
How about doing something similar in FSF GDB?
