This causes DejaGnu to abort for me with:

ERROR: (DejaGnu) proc "lassign {nm {-D /home/uweigand/fsf/gdb-head-build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-debugdata --format=posix --defined-only}} program arguments input output" does not exist.

I'm not really familiar enough with DejaGnu/Tcl to quite understand
what's going on here ...    Any thoughts?

Bye,
