Hi Ivan,

This part of your patch is approved.  Please apply it or ask someone to apply it for you.

I cannot actually approve this part of the patch since it is for the GDB sources and
not the binutils.  But I am sure that some kind GDB person will be happy to give it a
review and approval.

Cheers
