Yes for display.exp, no for the other two.

I definitely see random results in testsuite runs on ppc-linux and
ppc64-linux. This is an outdated and incomplete list of testcases which
randomly fail for me:

gdb.base/display.exp
gdb.base/checkpoint.exp
gdb.base/multi-forks.exp
gdb.threads/schedlock.exp
gdb.threads/watchthreads2.exp

There was some work recently to fix some random failures in the
testsuite, so maybe a few of the above are fixed by now, haven't
checked.
