I really don't understand what's the problem you're trying to
solve. MI doesn't change often. and even if it did, each
version of MI has separate tests in the testsuite. a front-end
doesn't have to understand any MI changes if it doesn't want to,
if it understands MI5, it should invoke gdb with
--interpreter=mi5.
if the gdb doesn't understand mi5, then you can try fallback to
--interpreter=mi1. I don't see much benefit to a front-end
knowing more than two versions of MI, and most of the time
knowing just one should be adequate.
if your front-end tries mi5 and fails because gdb has made an
incompatible change to mi5, then that's a bug in gdb, and if that
bug gets exposed in a user version of gdb, the answer is 'your
gdb has a bug, install a non-buggy one'.
what's your failure scenario?
