Good idea :)

It is just printed to the stdout of runtest.  That's because we just
invoke inotifywait without redirections.  I suppose if we have the file
descriptor of the log file available, we could send the output to the
log.

Here's a case where the test suite still makes a file outside the
allowed directories:

barimba. runtest GDB_INOTIFY=yes GDB_PARALLEL=yes --directory=gdb.server
[...]
Running ../../../archer/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/ext-run.exp ...
Running ../../../archer/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/file-transfer.exp ...
./ CREATE down-server
./ CREATE up-server
./ DELETE down-server
./ DELETE up-server
./ CREATE down-server
./ CREATE up-server
./ DELETE down-server
./ DELETE up-server
Running ../../../archer/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/no-thread-db.exp ...
Running ../../../archer/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp ...
