OK, let's say arguendo .gdb_index undergoes a few versions over the course of a year. (One may assume that it's self-identifying.) Why not pretty-print them all?
Why would you assume this is even possible. The format is exclusively used by gdb. The gdb people unilaterally make changes. If gdb cannot read the info in a file it'll ignore it. Versioning all the changes etc is likely not down nor is it important for gdb. You would have to put chains on the gdb people before you can add a decoder in elfutils and I doubt they want that.
