It was concluded that patching it before GDB is switched to C++ would be
fragile as there cannot be done easy sanity checking if the inferior types
width has not regressed. With C++ one can wrap the offset types into
sanity-checked classes with overriden operators.
But the GDB switch to C++ takes too many years.
