Good.

IMHO, no.   

There is no reason to define the new bitmap as "built-in".

Just use define-fringe-bitmap to define the new bitmap in your
own Lisp code.

As an alternative to the hollow triangle, you could use a filled
triangle (identical to the current bitmap), but give it is less
prominent color, e.g. medium gray.

You could call the bitmap something like "gud-inactive-arrow", and
put a face named "gud-inactive-arrow" (inherit from "fringe") on
it -- then people could customize it to their own liking.
