"[One] need[s] the upcoming GDB to debug GCC 4.5 compiled code anyway, because
older GDBs mishandle DW_CFA_restore_state which is now used all around in
.eh_frame, otherwise backtraces really don't work."  [1]

Thus one should document this in the GCC 4.5 release notes.

GDB 7.0 will support this, for GDB 6.8 one can use the patches at [2].

Alexandre, can you grok up a patch for changes.html mentioning VTA and the
gdb version issue?
