CPython 3.8 has added a new Syntax Warning that print
a waring at runtime while unsing gdb python support.

$ gdb -ex "python import os"
/usr/share/gdb/python/gdb/command/prompt.py:48: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
  if self.value is not '':
/usr/share/gdb/python/gdb/command/prompt.py:60: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
  if self.value is not '':

Backport an upstream patch for this:
