My understanding of the ``the regression test'' is that it stops people
adding ``feature'' tests that demonstrate bugs in things that have never
worked (or are not even implemented). It avoids, among other things,
the problem of not knowing of a FAIL is a bug in GDB or in a testcase
that never worked.
I look at this test as something similar to call-ar-st. It has been
demonstrate to work on one platform (I think the original was Arm/eCos
but more recently GNU/Linux i386) and should work on other platforms.
enjoy,
Andrew
