This would make FSF GDB HEAD testsuite incompatible with existing systems
featuring (older) .gdb_index, such as RHEL-6.y/CentOS-6.y/ScientificLinux-6.y.
I believe it is enough systems to consider it somehow with FSF GDB HEAD.
Sure there could be also made some lib/gdb.exp:
set warning obsolete gdb-index off
which could also be unified with renaming of current uncommited
set auto-load local-gdbinit-warning off
->
set warning obsolete local-gdbinit off
or something like that.
Thanks,
