gdb-patches does not appear to be one of the mailing lists on gnu.org;
no wonder I found nothing on the bug when I searched for it prior to
writing my bug report. I have located gdb-patches on sourceware.org
and will look it over.
But before I dive into it, allow me to mention a possible crude fix:
forget about stack frames when the current language is assembler,
since the assembler programmer is unlikely to stick to any kind of
standard frame format anyway.
