Here is what I want to do about gdb DWARF-1 C++ support:

make a policy decision whether gdb supports DWARF-1 with C++

if yes:
remove all the setup_xfail_format DWARF-1 calls
add regular DWARF-1 testing
file about 50 new PR's for all the new FAIL's
file PR's against gcc for the external bugs (and they will hate us)

if no:
document that gdb supports C++ with DWARF-2 or stabs+ but not DWARF-1
add a DWARF-1 check to "skip_cplus_tests"
remove all the setup_xfail_format DWARF-1 calls
