Therefore I have provisionally scheduled 10.6.1 for Tuesday April 26[3]. A few other fixes will be included in that patch release too.

At Indel, we happened on the same problem with GDB 11, but because we build our own GDB anyway, we just cherry-picked the fix (https://gitlab.indel.ch/thirdparty/gdb/-/commit/4e5794c9907878a7c4948d291c5a4a9c8162d6c8, and then backed out again for Windows because it apparently neither works nor is needed there, https://gitlab.indel.ch/thirdparty/gdb/-/commit/98d4ba30f7afda5fd35a4adec8ca1d15841d1878). Also, we’re not on CDT 10.6 yet, with no concrete plans on when to update next. So any decision is fine with us.
