[Crash-utility] Pointers on updating the gdb version crash uses.

Hi, I have the chance to look at using crash in a new, to me, situation but there's a catch: I think I need to rebuild it based on a newer gdb version. I've started picking apart some of the gdb patch but I'm wondering if there's a repository maintained anywhere that will help me understand more of the purpose of the patchset, or maybe some guide that is a better approach to the problem. So my question is, anyone have the time and inclination to chip in on the smartest way to bring up crash on a newer gdb? Cheers, Anthony Booker.
