* gdb/dwarf2-frame.c (encoding_for_size): Deal with case 3.

This file is owned by GCC (see the MAINTAINERS file at the top of 
binutils-gdb).  To get a modification in it, you would need to provide a 
patch to gcc, then we can import the change in binutils-gdb.

I am not too sure who is responsible for allocating these values, as 
they are not from the DWARF standard.  At the very least, there should 
be a comment to say what architecture uses this non-standard value.  Is 
there also a gcc port you are planning to upstream, that would use this 
value?

I might think about a gcc port when Gdb and Binutils are robust for this
arch.   But I haven't started any work on that so far.
