My opinion is that we don't want this functionality any more.  MI used
to be optional, but it is a central part of GDB nowadays, and
conditional compilation is hard to maintain.

It certainly adds some effort to maintenance, but it's not as bad as it may sound, especially since the change is not extensive at all (see the patch).

For embedded systems, it is important to have as small a binary as possible, and if we can reduce it with reasonable effort, I would say, why not?
