Yes, I expected that.

So, I guess all that would have been possible is to track the mainline 
changes in the branch and you would have had to repost the patches.

Well, this is the deciding factor.  If it would only complicate things,

I take it that the 
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/patches/gdb-5_3-objc-patch.tgz 
contains all of the releveant functional changes of this set of patches?
