[PATCH][gdb/testsuite] Handle missing xz in gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.exp

[PATCH][gdb/testsuite] Handle missing xz in gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.exp

[Tom de Vries]

Hi,

When running test-case gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.exp on SLE-11, I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.exp: xz
...

The fact that xz is not installed does not mean there's a fail, merely that
the test is unsupported.

Fix this by detecting the "spawn failed" reply in run_on_host and issuing
UNSUPPORTED instead.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Any comments?

Thanks,
- Tom
