Comment 2 Keith Seitz 2023-04-07 19:25:10 UTC 
The errant code for this bug first appears in gdb-13.1, which is current
for all actively maintained versions of gdb (f37, f38, rawhide). It is
invalid for any earlier release such as f36 (gdb-12.1).

If you want a bug to track this for other releases, please file. Otherwise,
I will work on a backport for f37, f38, and rawhide.
