I compared this with 2.95.3, and it seems that GCC switched from only
using mangled names to only using demangled names.  If we can't have
both, it seems to me that only having mangled names is more useful.

Did anybody from the GDB side ask them to switch the output that they
produced?  If so, what was the rationale?
