Ok, my understanding was that I broke some previously passing tests. Upon inspection, it seems like before my commit, a lot of Ada tests simply were not running. For example: FAIL: gdb.ada/aliased_array.exp: compilation foo.adb becomes PASS: gdb.ada/aliased_array.exp: compilation foo.adb FAIL: gdb.ada/aliased_array.exp: print bt Which introduces new FAILs. But there is no previously passing test that now fails, I think. So if that's the case, I don't think it should block the release. Also, I don't have all those failures when I run the testsuite on my machine, so I don't really know what causes them.
