You are right, I'm sorry. Thus, here is another try.

In break.exp, there are no `gdb_test "delete breakpoints"'.

I think the best thing here is to make use of the `delete_breakpoints', since
pr10179.exp addresses to test the `rbreak', not deleting the breakpoints.
Replacing `gdb_test "delete breakpoints"' with delete_breakpoints also
cures the races. IIUC, the race was caused by this part:
"Delete all breakpoints.*" "y"
Thus, when using read1(), we match the question "Delete all breakpoints?
(y or n)" right after the "breakpoints" word. This will leave in the buffer
"? (y or n)". The "(y or n)" matches and causes the "interactive prompt" fail.
Here is a better patch. Tested with both read{,1}. OK now? Thanks,

* gdb.base/pr10179.exp: Get rid of races using `delete_breakpoints'
in place of `gdb_test "delete breakpoints"'. This eliminates two
testcases.
