I don't think we have gone very far from the gdb-4.18 distribution. We
have made some changes to solib.c to account for some peculiarities in our
ld.so and there may be some other minor changes elsewhere. It would be
some work to break out all our changes so that they can be invidually
submitted to FSF. Assigning all the changes to FSF is about 10x the effort
and I don't have much enthusiasm for it.
