I hope so.  I find the GCC trigger-happy practice to be too much for
my stomach.

In practice, though, I think that a goal of never _releasing_ a GDB
that is broken on some platform is good enough.  GDB users need a
reliable tool because they need it to do something other than hacking
GDB.  But those who check out a random CVS snapshot cannot possibly
expect it to be stable, if only because the CVS tree could be in the
process of a large patch being committed.
