Partially due to the severity of the bug - anything built with -m32 is affected - and partially due to how wide-spread the 10.x series is. >From a casual look at repology [1] the following distributions are affected and a bunch of them will be "stuck" with the 10.x series. Thus I do think it will be of great benefit in having another 10.x with said fix - even if only this patch is included. List of distributions using GDB 10.x alongside 5.9+ kernel - Alpine, Arch, Debian testing, Fedora 33&34, openSUSE Leap 15.x, Ubuntu 21.04 ... and their respective derivatives.
