Branch is scheduled to be tomorrow, and release 2 weeks after
assuming no last-minute glitch.

We have several options if you miss 7.6. We can look at a 7.6.1,
for instance. And if binutils keeps to its current typical pace
of 1 major release a year, with the last one being around Oct,
GDB 7.7 should also be out by then.
