Assuming it bakes OK on the mainline, I would like this patch for 4.0.
Eventually GDB will use DWARF-2 unwind information on PPC; the longer
GCC generates bad unwind information, the harder it will be to adapt
GDB. So I have high motivation to see 4.0.1 fixed.
So, GDB does not presently use the DWARF-2 unwind information on PPC?
If so, that makes it easier to apply the patch; people using the usual
tools aren't likely to see any adverse consequences because they're not
even using the debug information that we emit.
I'll apply the patch in a few days, if there's no objection.
