I was going by this guideline in Makefile.am:

#    4. If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the
#       last update, increment current, and set revision to 0.

Since we added new interfaces (eg: fast unwinding interface on x64), I
incremented current.

Having said that I don't recall any obvious ABI breakages. It'd be
interesting to know if setting up a symlink makes gdb happy.
