FYI, Building GDB master now requires a C++ compiler. The option to build with a C compiler has been removed. IOW, we can now make use of C++-only features in master. Please keep in mind that we'll be wanting to backport patches to the 7.12 branch, which supports building as C, though. So if a patch is likely to need to be backported, then it's going to be easier to write it in C from the start.
