It's a type-safe form of the common idiom for dynamically resized
arrays.  For me, at least, type safety is a big deal.  I definitely
think we should convert other pieces of GDB to use it.

Is this file modified much from the GCC version?  Could GDB and GCC
share this from libiberty?

IMO it is impractical to share this. GCC requires too much GC-specific additional bits. That's not to say putting this in libiberty would be a bad thing, just that GCC couldn't really use that copy.
