It isn't a single update.  I identified at least 2, maybe 3 changes
Gnulib installed based on my reports of problems found in GDB 11.

IMO, it would be best.  But that's not my call, especially since Joel
says there seems to be a policy about that.

> I'm not sure whether we want to attempt an update on the GDB 12 branch.

No, I don't think we should.  It's too late for GDB 12, IMO.
