I wouldn't assume that. You'd need to run the gdb testsuite
on such a host to verify. I suspect, in fact, that the change
would cause the "break in function, check line number, next,
check line number" type tests to fail.

No, don't think of adding such to a do_nothing hook. Instead
you'd add new functions to whichever formats needed it.
