Ready for GDB 11.2 release? ("re-spin") update (2021-12-11)

Ready for GDB 11.2 release? ("re-spin") update (2021-12-11)

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi everyone,

One last issue left to fix. As we can see in the summary of
that issue below, we've already had a v2 patch since Nov 23rd.
One last review and confirmation whether it looks OK for a .2
or not?

As soon as the issue is fixed, I'll work on publishing the 11.2
the following weekend.

Thank you!

Not Critical, but Requested:

        Some movement on Nov 27th, after a period of no progress since
        Jul 2021.

        I know that the state of GDB on MacOS is very poor at the moment,
        and so having this PR fixed for 11.1 would be very nice. I don't
        think this PR should block the release, though. This is not new,
        and I'm not sure whether we can expect for us to converge without
        too much delay. There are good signs, though, with regular
        activity on the PR, lately. So let's see how it goes...

  * [BerndE] Improve debugging of optimized code
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-January/175617.html

    This is reported to fix <PR c++/25987>
    Wrong line for code containing inlined functions

    Looks like those patches are a challenge to review

    For me, although I am not a lawyer, I don't think we can accept
    the contribution without the author signing a copyright assignment
    form.
