Can't use GDB 7.6.1-ubuntu with libstdc++ pretty printers, nor use it for debbuging Go

As mentioned in Bug #1166304, because of use of python 3 for building GDB, a lot of python 2 plugins seems to not be supported anymore by default??

Yesterday I was trying to debug STL stuff and stumbled upon the same errors as referred in #1166304.
Today when trying to debug Go I stumbled upon:

GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6.1-ubuntu
This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu".
For bug reporting instructions, please see:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>...
Lendo símbolos de /home/francisco/.go/src/playground/sample...concluído.
    File "/usr/local/src/go/src/pkg/runtime/runtime-gdb.py", line 358
        print s, ptr['goid'], "%8s" % sts[long((ptr['status']))], blk.function
              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
(gdb) q

So, it seems with the default GDB I can't do several things because of adoption of python 3 (http://alexgaynor.net/2013/dec/30/about-python-3)?

Can I switch it to use python 2 so it's usable again, or should I just build my own gdb as I'm about to do?
