Did you mean to do:
set srcfile ${testfile}.c
and use $srcfile below instead? Otherwise, this var looks write-only.
This line is copied from other test case. It is not needed. Removed.

You could do this before trying to compile the program. I'll
be cheaper on !x86-linux targets.
OK.
Very recent kernels will allow choosing the syscall instruction
in the vsyscall page. It'll be better to make the test
skip on !x86-linux at the top, and then, change the test
to look for all alternatives of the syscall insn.
I read some pages on vsyscall, and thought we can fetch the value of
AT_SYSINFO in auxv to get the address of __kernel_vsyscall. However,
another simpler way comes up in my mind is to set possible syscall insn
to $syscall_insn like this,
set syscall_insn "(int|syscall|sysenter)"
If we match either of them in instruction stream, we are sure program
will enter to syscall, so we don't have to worry about vsyscall page.
+

teststr doesn't exist in this test. Looks like a pasto.
Sorry. Removed $teststr.

Best put an upper cap on number of steps. Do you need to
step through PLT resolution within the dynamic linker
this way? That'll be a bunch more steps than required.
You can work around it by instead letting the program
call fork once (so the plt resolves), and then do this
stepping dance on the second fork call.
The upper bound of steps is added in loop.
We don't need to step through PLT resolution. Now, each syscall
function is called three times. For the first time, it is for PLT
resolution, for the second time, it is for locating the address of
syscall insn, for the third time, single-step over syscall insn.
+
+set syscall_insn_addr ""
+set test "extract syscall insn address"
+
+send_gdb "print \$pc\n"
+gdb_expect {
gdb_test_multiple, please. Or better still, just do:
set pc [get_hexadecimal_valueof "\$pc" "0"]
Oh, get_hexadecimal_valueof is better. I am not aware of it before.

Does this work instead?
gdb_test "stepi" "" "stepi over fork syscall"
set syscall_insn_next_addr [get_hexadecimal_valueof "\$pc" "0"]
Yes, fixed like this.

Why can you do a disassemble here, while you did the stepi thing
for fork? The comments to the fork tests apply equally to this
file. Just a suggestion, not use it'd be better: would it be possible to
merge the .exp files, by putting the tests under a proc/function that
takes fork/vfork and .c file to build as arg?
The reason I choose disassembly here is that disassembly is cheaper than
multiple stepi to locate the address of syscall insn.
In this version, there is only one .exp file, which is
disp-step-syscall.exp, and common test logic is moved to a single proc.
b.t.w, the test to TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD event can be added into
disp-step-syscall.exp easily, but that is the work in next step.
