On a powerpc:

Running /home/scratch/GDB/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/store.exp ...

                 === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            204

ac131313@nettle$ gcc --version
2.95.3

And on a Red Hat 7,2 system:

Running /home/cagney/GDB/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/store.exp ...

                 === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            204

cagney@torrens$ gcc --version
2.96
