I just skimmed the swig bug descriptions on Sourceforge, and it sure sounds like a swig bug to me. If that's true, and if there is no simple workaround on our end, I'd support continuing to require working versions of swig, even if that means that there's a period where people can't just grab the default ubuntu package or whatever.
I don't understand exactly what's not working with gem5 to say whether there is a simple workaround or not.
