I'm just grabbing some low-hanging fruit: these unresolved test cases
are due to unescaped left curly braces.  There have been a couple of
threads on the subject in the past.  (In printcmds.exp it's solved by a
wrapper function that does the escaping.)  Ok to commit?

        * testsuite/gdb.base/setvar.exp: Escape curly braces.
        * testsuite/gdb.stabs/weird.exp: Ditto.
