That works for me. I'll review some more of the open bugs and see
if they are fixed in HEAD now.

I like this idea. We see a lot of reports that do not include the
target architecture or the version string. Also it's very useful to
see what compiler the user built their program with.
It's a service to us if the bug reports are better to begin with.
It would be a service to the users if we say: if your gdb is version
4.18 or 5.0, then you should upgrade to 5.1.1 or the latest CVS version
before sending a letter at all.
