"New file".

Hmm, I'm not sure about doing this in the same commit.
Is it also related to reproducibility?

What does this mean?  Does it mean "bundled"?

Ok.

Please add the reasoning as a comment inside the source code instead.

Maybe add "[source]".

I think I had reproducibility problems when enabling codegen tests and
parallel tests.  Is that not the case anymore?

Note to myself: I think the issue comments indicate that the newer gdb output
is better - so we should create a patch similar to
rust-1.25-accept-more-detailed-gdb-lines.patch to accept the newer output.
