Yes. that's what we do in the rest of the tree, in a variety of stupid ways.

binutils is a bootstrap. gdb isn't. that's how they are different. But both could likely use the forced off solution.

I really *HATE* options that are different based on the platform. They cause nothing but problems. Every single time. I'd like to find a better way to cope.
