You might be right - I haven't tried to build an updated compiler since
building one on MinGW is a big problem for someone like me who almost
never works on Windows and is just not setup for it.

No, you're probably right. I was slowly realizing this while I was
updating the comment I wrote in the previous patch. The problem is:
what's the right way to detect how the binary was built? Right now,
the bfd change is a major incompatibility nightmare since minimal
symbols and symbols no longer have the same name.  GDB needs to be able
to support both (IMO).
