RE: [RFC] Improve testsuite for poor expect behavior

["Pierre Muller" <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>]

Thanks, this is indeed very helpful
for mingw32 or djgpp target.
I simply added a line

set GDBFLAGS { -ex "set interactive on"}

at the end of site.exp in gdb/testsuite directory

  Nevertheless, it only addresses part of
the purpose of my patch.
  The problem of the extra '\r' generated by 
text mode output is still not solved.
  I will try to resubmit a much shorter patch
that just handles this without trying to
modify the executables.
