I think as long as it exercises the bug -- fails before the patch and
passes after -- and is reasonably clean, then it is fine.
Coding in the name of the library, etc, is also fine; there are some
tools in the test suite to make this a bit less fragile, namely using
variables in place of file names and using gdb_get_line_number.
I don't have any problem with the approach in the patch though.

Typo, "breakpoint".
Ok with those changes plus a ChangeLog entry.
