Well, it's just a small modification of code I found strewn around
other test cases that involved re-reading an executable and the like. 
If what you are saying is that GDB might be holding onto file descriptors
too long, then I must agree, as indicated in a comment further down in
the test:

  # Complication: Since GDB generally holds an open file descriptor on the 
  # executable at this point, there are some systems in which the 
  # re-compilation will fail....

That is, after the inferior exits, GDB (or, if you prefer, BFD) still
has the executable file open (at least that's what it looked like to
me).  I'm curious as to whether this is an important feature.

OK
