But if it prints:
whatis c2
type = const char [2]

it will also PASS.  It should not.  That is currently the line
	gdb_test "whatis c2" "type = char2|char \\\[2\\\]"
means:
	gdb_test "whatis c2" "(type = char2|char \\\[2\\\])"
which also means:
	gdb_test "whatis c2" ".*(type = char2|char \\\[2\\\])"
which is not right.
