I am about to start working on making the GDB 11.2 release, so
I've created the following PR, to have it ready:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28785

Something that also became more obvious to me as I created the PR
and would have been useful in assessing whether or not we should
backport the patches is an explanation of why we should be backporting
them. The commits make it sound like they are about fixing readelf
and objcopy, which makes me wonder why you proposed them for a GDB
release.

Can you update the PR so as to provide more information there, please?
