FWIW I tend to favor more use of gnulib in gdb.  In general I think the
pros outweigh the cons; especially since it seems reasonably easy to get
fixes into gnulib, and because importing a new gnulib snapshot is also
simple.

The pros seem to be -- shared development, good documentation, and
letting the main gdb source use standard headers and standard functions.

I think the primary con is that a gnulib module may have a bug, and then
we have to fix it elsewhere first.  This doesn't seem to be a major
problem.
