Yes, I looked at them last week.  I can't reproduce most of them on my
machine.  For fails I can reproduce, I identified the patches related to
these fails, and ping the authors.

  - fails in gdb.arch/i386-biarch-core.exp are fixed by Jan
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00476.html

  - GDBserver crashes when killing a multi-thread process.  Remind Pedro
  to commit his patch.
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00182.html

  - fails in attach-pie-noexec.exp fail on native-extended-gdbserver are
    fixed by me.
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00367.html

  - fails in gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp are being discussed.
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00315.html
  These fails are not fixed, but they are test case problem rather than
  GDB's problem.  I still don't have a chance to think about how to make
  different architectures/os happy for this test case.  IMO, these fails
  shouldn't block 7.10 release.

  - fails in gdb.server/wrapper.exp
  I am working on a patch series to fix these fails, and probably I'll
  send them out today or tomorrow.
  I'd like to fix it before 7.10 release.
