 Upgrading to gdb 5.1.1 *is* something that I am doing. In fact, I was
 testing kernel debugging over the weekend. However, the calls to
 bfd_read are still in gdb 5.1.1 so I could either patch it or wait
 for gdb 5.2 to be released. Of course, a simple patch to bfd.h could
 remove the warning as well...

That would be nice. We are waiting for it.

 If the warning is annoying people, I can make the patch to gdb. If it
 is tolerable, then let's wait for gdb 5.2.

I thinks that warnings shoud be disabled in any case, because they do
not serve any meaningful purpose, but only scaring newcomers and
annoying people like me.

Thanks!
