Dear GDB maintainer (and gcc-snapshot maintainer)

    I hope you are doing well :-)

GCC 4.8 (see gcc-snapshot) defaults to writing DWARF 4 debug info by default. As a user of gcc-snapshot, I thought that gcc 4.8 was broken, until I realized that gcc-7.4 loads the DWARF 4 info without any error messages, but then cannot read it. I just get a lot of messages like 'No symbol "a" in current context.' But of course, there actually IS such a symbol.

Since I'm using gcc-snapshot, gdb 7.5 would be a great help! I don't know if its easier to make gdb 7.4 complain about the unsupported debug format instead of silently accepting it.

Thanks :-)
