State-Changed-Why:  
These patches need to be submitted to the GDB maintainers.  I have a feeling 
they have not been as NeXT Software probably refused to sign the copyright 
over to the FSF.  I really don't want to support such a rouge version of 
GDB for FreeBSD.  Thus you should make a gdb-objc port where these patches 
are applied.  If you convence me that GDB 5.0 supports ObjC properly, I 
would consider applying this patches to our 4.18 GDB.  But I refuse to 
maintain them past 4.18 and I would yank them out the first sign of them 
causing trouble in 4.18.
