I thought the distros did do this nowadays; but I don't really know much
about any other than Fedora any more.  FWIW, Fedora enables Python here
and also ships with all the other little things that help gdb -- at
least Python pretty-printers for libstdc++, libgcc hooks for unwinding,
glibc hooks for improved dlopen support and longjmp.

If your distro doesn't do this I suggest filing bugs with them.

Not touching that one :-)
