So my understanding so far is that the testcases under gdb.gdb are to be used only for a GDB that is build fresh from sources and not that is installed on the system. If that is the case then they need to be modified in such a way that they report that "the testcase does not support stripped gdb -- unsupported" or something of that nature. Is that ok? -- Manoj Iyer
