[gnu.gcc.bug] Symseg version numbers broken. Really annoying.

The latest version of gdb only understands version 2 symsegs.  This is
a real pain, since GNU CC 1.33 doesn't output version 2 symsegs.  It
still outputs version 1 symsegs.  The GNU debugging format is really
nice...it does make debugging easier, and faster.  Unfortunately, the
developers of code A didn't talk to the developers of code B and we're
stuck with the results.  Thanks.

   Why are you flaming RMS and Randy?  It's sort of like biting the
hand that feeds you, isn't it?  This is counter-productive, since they
work rather hard to provide us with hi-quality *free* software.  If
and when mistakes are made, it is our responsibility as members of the
``enlightened'' GNU community to help fix things, not to scold the
contributors!
