Looks like the patch at sourceware.org is not the right one, neither is
the patch in #579834. Correct patch is attached. I could add it to the
Debian bug. How to get it updated in in sourceware?

I recompiled gdb with gcc-4.6 to see if the bogus memory addresses when
debugging exim4 disappeared, but they did not.

But something else was improved:

path/to/compiled/gdb /usr/sbin/exim4

(gdb) run --version
(gdb) Starting program: /usr/sbin/exim4 --version

This warning disappeared:
warning: Error setting exception port for process 1701: (ipc/send)
invalid destination port

And this console message disappears:
task 520b4efc deallocating an invalid port 27260952, most probably a bug

This message is still there:
Can't fetch registers from thread bogus thread id 3: No such thread
