That patch fixed a real-life bug, so I don't think reverting it is an
option we should seriously consider.

That should be done regardless, I will submit a patch to GDB.

3 is okay in principle, but you didn't show any specific suggestions.
What did you have in mind?
Please also keep in mind that "M-x gud-gdb" is a legacy command, and
the more modern "M-x gdb" doesn't have that problem.
There's also:
4. Fix this locally in your GDB init files (using GDB scripting
facilities).

except the one pointed out by Andreas.
