Another constraint: 5.1.0.2 would be unable to debug -gdwarf-2 code
with gcc-HEAD, which is going to become gcc 3.1 eventually.

(I'm bummed because my overnight test run got stuck in the configuration
of gdb 5.1, gcc HEAD, -gdwarf-2, so I had to kludge around that and
start the test script again).
