In that case, I suggest to reword the text slightly:

   DejaGNU supports separate build, host, and target machines.  However,
   some @value{GDBN} test scripts do not work if the host machine and
   the build machine are not the same.  These scripts will say that the
   result is ``UNRESOLVED'' in such an environment, like this:

   @smallexample
   UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/unload.exp: set pending breakpoint
   @end smallexample
