Problem with new step-bt test?

Problem with new step-bt test?

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-bt.exp: step second instruction
bt
#0  hello () at /space/fsf/commit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-bt.c:27
#1  0x00000000004004d1 in main () at
/space/fsf/commit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-bt.c:33
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/step-bt.exp: backtrace after second instruction step
testcase /space/fsf/commit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-bt.exp completed
in 2 seconds

I figure that ought to be a PASS output, right?  I think the problem is that
the two hex patterns need to be optional, but I haven't tried it.

Yes, it should be only PASSes! It's strange because I definitely
ran the testcase before checking in. Normally, the hex address is
printed if we're "inside" a line of code, right? After a step or two,
we should be still inside the prologue, so I figured we should see
them printed. But I don't have any objection into making them optional.

I can do that sometime later tonight.

That's the faulty assumption: prologues can be pretty short, in fact.
