The old GDB interface is still there, you just need to use "M-x gud-gdb"
to invoke it. Downgrading to 23.x because of that is too radical,
cause you'll miss a whole load of useful features.

You will be much better off using 24.5 for that, or even the git
master. Among other things, UAX#9 is supported to the last additions
in Unicode 6.3 and 7.0; even the proposed additions for 8.0 are in.

Obsolete doesn't mean dead or gone, just that it's in a separate
directory. Why should you care about that, and punish yourself?

No, runemacs is for invoking Emacs from a desktop shortcut or from an
Explorer window, or from Start->Run dialog.

I see nothing of the kind here. There's no such new behavior.
