gdb version?

[John Demme]

Please post a bug report on the GDB Patches forum over at
dsource.org/forums.  Please include the backtrace of gdb's crash as well as
the code that you're compiling (if possible).  If it's part of a large
codebase, and you're willing to work with me, we'll discuss it over at
dsource.

I've had some issues with this, but haven't been able to track it down yet,
and it hasn't been enough of a nusance to put a ton of time into it.  I'm
not surprised that an unpatched GDB crashed, since it generally can't
handle the D DWARF signature.
