Thanks!

In case you are wondering where to put them, there is prior art
based on Tom's fix:

  ./share/gcc-4.6.0/python/libstdcxx/__init__.py       <--- The good
  ./share/gcc-4.6.0/python/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py
  ./share/gcc-4.6.0/python/libstdcxx/v6/__init__.py
  ./share/python/classfile.py                          <--- The bad
  ./share/python/aotcompile.py
  ./lib/libstdc++.so.6-gdb.py                          <--- The ugly :-)
