It appears not just to be simple.el that has this log.  I've looked at gud.el
and gdb-ui.el and they both have it.  It does appear to be a one off, but
merges from Arch takes up about 75% of the two logs.  That seems a bit
execessive, as none of it appears to affect mainline.

Please don't, not before the release anyway.  I can take ugly, I just don't
like broken.
