--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
gdb uses a relaxed set of rules for user convenience, but
in this case what happens is that this leads gdb into thinking
that these two overloads are incomparable, whereas in reality
one of them ought to be rejected.

I think a possible fix is for 'compare_badness' to declare a
winner in the case where one badness vector has an invalid
component and one does not.

That's pretty easy to do, but what isn't clear to me is if we
need finer-grained decisions about the kinds of laxity gdb applies.
Probably overthinking it though.
