The IDE can make decisions based on GDB version. So if it gets fixed 
cross platform, and I know the version...

Btw, I am still trying to figure out, I've seen 3 diff notations of 
version 5.2.1-1  / 7.0.50  / 7.2-50
So I can interpret either as:
   Version . SubVersion [ . MinorVersion ] [ - patchlvl ]
Or
   Version . SubVersion ( . | - ) patchlvl  # and discard -1 in 5.2.1.-1


Alternatively, gdb could output some info somewhere, e.g in the version 
string....
