* The "info static-tracepoint-marker" command will now also work on
native Linux targets with in-process agent.
+* GDB can now set breakpoints on inlined functions.

+* The .gdb_index section has been updated to include symbols for
+ inlined functions. GDB will ignore older .gdb_index sections by
+ default, which could cause symbol files to be loaded more slowly
+ until their .gdb_index sections can be recreated. The new option
