I've committed this patch, with a slight modification to match for
"${prev_dir}/" instead of ${prev_dir} in ${dir}, i.e.
...
if { [string first "${prev_dir}/" ${dir}] == -1} {
...

This change is necessary to guard against the cases where you have
<tool>.a and <tool>.aa test_top_dirs entries ... although not seen in
GDB / GCC / G++ testsuite trees.  Again, tested w/ GDB / GCC / G++
testsuites with no regression.
