Personally, I'd be against this unless we have reason to believe that it's an important optimization. I don't like global data in general, even if it's only global to one component of a program, and having that data shared by both GDB and BFD makes me even more nervous. (Singleton is not my favorite design pattern.) So it sets of warning bells for general design reasons; our lack of const-correctness when dealing with names makes me even more nervous.
