Sure - it's trivial.  Just install the package "dejagnu" using apt,
and then run the testsuite using "make check-gdb" from the top level or
"make check" from the GDB subdirectory.

You will definitely get a handful of failures (which I'm not thrilled
about, but no longer have the energy to fight against).  So run it once
before changing anything and hold on to those baselines.  There's also
a small set of random failures, related to timing - interrupt tests and
thread tests.
