I agree this is a potential problem, but it does not worry me very much.

First, I think that we already just make a best effort not to break GDB
on hosts that do not have active GDB developers.

Second, for active hosts, breakage is noticed and fixed quickly.

Third, we're looking at setting up a buildbot for GDB.  See:

    http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildBot

We're still discussing the various options, but one idea is to host it
on the GCC Compile Farm, plus let people host their own buildslaves.
