In that case, (and without having looked at the test), 
I wonder if it would be possible to do something like the following?

  send_gdb "whatever\n
"
  gdb_expect {
    -re "new_abi_pattern" {
	pass "this test";
    }
    -re "old_abi_pattern" {
	setup_xfail "this test";
	fail "this test"
    }
    default {
	fail "this test";
    }
  }
