  I didn't say it did: 'liveness/register info' is debug info *about* the
prologue, not the actual prologue code itself.

  OK, but...

 ...whereas previously the first line of the function corresponded to
the first instruction after the prologue, and gdb didn't have to skip
anything, how can GDB work with debug info that *does* need skipping over
the prologue and yet you say it has not changed its behaviour?

>(3) Hence, parameters a printed correctly.

  Therefore I don't think this statement...

>No, it is not related to the version of gdb.

...and this one can both be correct.
