While I do not mind wrt FSF GDB I find this kind of patch as the schoolbook
example of a distro patch nobody expects to be accepted upstream.

I could push the same way patch for using gcc44 for specific testcases
requiring newer gcc, workaround of Red Hat specific kernel incompatibility or
workaround of upstream ccache bug which you voted for not including in FSF GDB
