I don't quite follow you, but if you are asking: can you check in
a change to the test script before you check in a change to gdb:
in general, you can do that.

If the test script accepts both old+new messages, and the new message is
not wildly more complex than the old message, then testing with the old
message alone is good enough for getting the test script approved.
Just pop out the new patch and say how / what system you tested on.

If that's not what you mean, I'm confused.
