The test script, gdb.cp/gdb1355.exp, refers to PR gdb/1355.
gdb/1355 is an external PR and it refers to PR gcc/12066.
So there is a gdb PR in there.

This has been a controversy in the past, too.

My view is that "KFAIL" means "Known FAIL", which basically means
there is a PR for it (the PR is the locus of knowledge).

I prefer gdb1355.exp the way it is but I would be okay with that change
if other people want it that way.
