Messing with libstdc++ internal macros and changing what libstdc++
defines is recipe for undefined behavior and trouble. I'd prefer
avoiding it if possible.
How about going back to the original gdb::to_string, implemented
in terms of stringstring:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00535.html
... with a tweak to only use if it the host compiler doesn't support
std::to_string, like the patchlet below. (It's functionally equivalent,
it's just that std::to_string is potentially cheaper.) We'd use
gdb::to_string instead of std::to_string until compilers that miss
std::to_string are phased out.
