Cool.

I plan to keep testing and reporting on gdb_5_1-2001-07-29-branch
for a little while longer, just in case another release might come
from it.

The real work is proportional to:

  delta # of changes in test results
  absolute # of ERRORs and WARNINGs

[PATCH] fix test script ERRORs in 5.1 branch

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

I'd like to request approval to port this test script patch
from mainline to the 5.1 branch:

  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-cvs/2001-10/msg00156.html

This looks like an obvious fix to me, but I want to be conservative about
changing the branch.  Note that the only changes are in test suite files.

My motivation: I run test suites on both mainline and 5.1 branch and
I write explanations of every ERROR and WARNING.  It will make my life
easier to remove ERRORs from the 5.1 branch, because then I won't have
to keep seeing them and keep checking that they are the same error as
the last test suite run.

My impression is that Andrew's leaning more towards a 5.2 release than
a 5.1.1 release, so I don't know if it would be worth the effort...

Or the political compromize:  Spin what ever is at the head of the  5.1 
branch as 5.1.1 while simultaneously cutting the branch for 5.2.

Michael, pulling the test cases over doesn't worry me.  Er, almost.  The 
trunk contains some recently OBSOLETE code so you'd need care there.
