Hi David,

Thanks for your contribution.  The ChangeLog needs to be written
according to the GNU Coding Standards (as you have noticed).  The best
way to learn how to write an entry for them is to take a look at the
existing ChangeLogs: gdb/ChangeLog is a good source of information :-).
In your specific case, there is a ChangeLog file in gdb/testsuite, so
you don't need to include the prefix `testsuite/' in your entry.

Anyway, you would write your entry as:

2013-01-15  David Blaikie  <dblaikie@gmail.com>

	* gdb.base/label.c (main): Correct the type of the second
	parameter.

Or something like that.

Thanks,
