* I cannot imagine a case something else than DW_FORM_block1 would be used but
  sure GDB should handled all the DW_FORM_block* cases to be correct.

* The maintained offtrunk patch archer-jankratochvil-vla is using
  attr_form_is_block() for the full DW_FORM_block* support.

* As the existing FSF GDB code was already limited to DW_FORM_block1.

* The new patch code fragment application scope should match the scope of the
  existing FSF GDB code.

* This patch will need to be reverted/merged-out on future import of some form
  of the archer-jankratochvil-vla branch therefore I wanted to minimize any
  effort for its import as it should have been spent rather on preparing
  archer-jankratochvil-vla for the merge instead.

=> Chose the minimal patchset satisfying Chandru's requirements.

Done (forgot the FIXME keyword I see now, sorry).

Checked-in.



Thanks,
