I'm concerned about the use of "long long" in a test program.
What if someone uses a non-gcc Ansi C compiler?
But this doesn't look any worse than other tests, so okay.

In structs.exp, line 22:

# This file was written by Jeff Law. (law@cygnus.com)

Add something like:

# And rewritten by Andrew Cagney (cagney@redhat.com)

I got a lot of FAILS with the new tests.
native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, binutils 2.14.

PASS FAIL
gcc 2.95.3 -gdwarf-2 1086 138
gcc 2.95.3 -gstabs+ 1122 102
gcc 3.3.2 -gdwarf-2 1122 102
gcc 3.3.2 -gstabs+ 1122 102

I have put up a tarball:

ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/mec/gdb/2003-11-06-2.tar.gz

There are a lot of duplicate test names too. It would be good
to uniquify them.

Not proofread yet because of so many FAIL results.
