This change has been pushed to the GCC repo.

It is my understanding that ChangeLog entries are automatically added
on a daily basis.  If that is incorrect, please let me know and I'll
add it by hand.

For copying back to GDB (binutils-gdb), I plan to wait until the
ChangeLog entry is in place.  Once that is done, I'll do the copy and
push to GDB as well.

Finally, I noticed some discussion regarding Python formatting.  I'll
note that I simply tried to follow the conventions already in use in
dg-extract-results.py.  But I do think it makes sense to use modern
Python formatting standards.  I'll leave it to someone else to
implement that.
