They wouldn't work in cmacexp.el because they were part of c-mode. I've already moved them now into gud.el and gdb-ui.el, anyway. Not because cc-mode.el is part of CC Mode but because they were bad changes. If someone makes good changes to cc-*.el files in Emacs CVS, then they would presumably become part of your merge.
