I, and more importantly I guess anyone reading the archives in a
few years, don't know what gcc16 is.  I guess it to be a machine in
the gcc compile farm, and I guess it to be running linux, but I don't
know for sure.  I don't know if it is x86, x86-64 or something else.  Can
you please state x86_64-linux, or something like that instead of
assuming everyone else is using the gcc compile farm?

Yes, thanks.  I was going to suggest fixing gcore.exp too, but
it was already fixed similarly at some point:

2007-05-14  Markus Deuling  <deuling@de.ibm.com>

        * gdb.base/gcore.exp: Initialize variable core_supported.

Pedantically, you don't need that "global" statement anymore.
