I updated and rebased the patch per Luis's comments in:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-04/msg00361.html
which I attached. Could a global maintainer review it when they have
the chance? The problem is only exposed on MIPS, however the patch
involves changing code that is not MIPS specific.
Thanks,
