Right, that is what we do.

Sounds good.

In this case I think the most recent patch I sent is the one to use.

So it would be this patch, right?

Is the necessary patch(es) already in rawhide gdb, I dont see anything obviously related in gdb changelogs?

One thing this does is that it forces rpm-build to depend on gdb, which hardly is the end of the world, just something to note.
