I applied your patches and gave them a spin and had a slight problem...

Here is the source for the target program:

        #include <stdio.h>
        
        void hello ()
        {
          printf ("Hello, world!\n");
        }
        
        int main()
        {
          hello();
        
          return 0;
        }
        
Here is a transcript:

        Hello, world!
        6       }
        (gdb) q
        The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y
        
Do I need a flag other then -g when compiling to get CFI data?

This was on a ppc64 system, 32-bit GDB, 32-bit target program.
I got the same results with 64-bit GDB, 32 and 64-bit target programs.
