I think we already documented the required version of gdb. The newer dwarf code is needed to produce a more correct value of mode at the point where you tried to print mode. So you are stuck in a mess if you disable that extension so you will not get the correct value of mode at the point you are printing it out at or you have to download a newer version of gdb. I think most people would like to have correct printing and downloading a new version of gdb is just something people can go and do. Thanks Andrew Pinski
