That's unfortunate.  Obviously, we can't do anything about older
versions of GDB, but can we change GDB so that it doesn't complain and
just silently ignores the expression, unless in some debugging mode?  If
I'm a user, and I have some compiler that spits out weird DWARF GDB
doesn't understand, scary messages aren't helping me.
