Re: linux native async mode support

[Luis Machado <luisgpm@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi folks,

I've ran the testsuite on PPC to check for regressions due to the async
patch. The results look good, just the expected regressions and one
unexpected (mi2-simplerun.exp).

define.exp:
FAIL: gdb.base/define.exp: use user command: nextwhere
FAIL: gdb.base/define.exp: use hook-stop command

commands.exp:
FAIL: gdb.base/commands.exp: running to factorial in runto
FAIL: gdb.base/commands.exp: if test in test_command_prompt_position
FAIL: gdb.base/commands.exp: run factorial until breakpoint

mi2-simplerun.exp:
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi2-simplerun.exp: continue to end (1)

Nick, i still can reproduce the last one constantly.

Best regards,
