Yes(**)! Thanks to everyone who helped get it into gdb.


** The only remaining thing is the hacked out architecture dependant part of objc-lang.c, which only affects systems using the Apple Objective-C runtime. Although, the main gdb line doesn't even configure/compile on Darwin which is the only system that uses the Apple runtime.  I actually have a patch to fix this and put the functions into gdbarch, but I'm hesitant to submit them right now as, obviously, I can't test them...
