$obj/gdb/testsuite/gdb.guile doesn't exist in my setting.  I am hacking
gdb testsuite so that it can be run in a sub directory of 'testsuite/',
such as 'testsuite/sequential-tests', so that it can facilitate 'make clean'
('make clean' can only remove the directory 'sequential-tests').  That
is how this problem is exposed.

Sure, FIXME is removed.  I'll push it in.
