Hi Yao,

Thanks for your reply.

I did a `make check` for unpatched gdb-7.10 and patched with my
changes. Here's the unpatched result:

# of expected passes            32377
# of unexpected failures        85
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          72
# of unknown successes          2
# of known failures             62
# of untested testcases         36
# of unsupported tests          201

And here's after my patch:

# of expected passes            32378
# of unexpected failures        85
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          71
# of unknown successes          2
# of known failures             62
# of untested testcases         36
# of unsupported tests          201

I.e. one "expected failure" less and one "expected pass" more. I'm not
sure how to interpret this result.

Should I resend the whole original mail with this fixed?
