Being a new feature, it's tough to justify waiting for it.. But
since we are looking at version 7 of the patches series, let's hope
that we can converge quickly on that one. There are some other issues
that look a bit difficult to resolve.

Indeed. It sounds useful to wait for that one.

This one is, erm, "interesting". I commented on the PR directly.
The short version is that I seem to be seeing the bug as being elsewhere,
so I asked for clarification. Regardless, at the moment, this seems
like this could be categorized as a relatively minor bug.
Still, worth keeping in our radar, since exec-file-mismatch is new
in GDB 10.

I don't forsee any problems with the changes you propose. On the other
hand, I tend to agree with the general principle that it's safer to
make changes affecting existing output earlier in the release cycle.
