Sure! I don't know what this didn't cross my mind earlier, I guess
I was in a bit of a crunch... Will do that tomorrow (I'm also planning
on submitting a bunch of patches tomorrow as well, if things go as
planned - so that'll be a good time for that).

It was on top of your patch - If I am not mistaken, it should apply
cleanly after you apply yours. I did, however, generate the patch
against AdaCore's gdb-head (which is a merge between our changes
and nearly-top-of-fsf-tree) to which I applied your patch. So there
might indeed be some differences that would cause a conflict; I just
don't see any, right now.
Perhaps there are some withspace differences? I hate those tabs with a
passion, and always having them right is really difficult and fustrating
for me.
