Hmm, the perf bits of the runtest invocation already pass --status:

@GMAKE_TRUE@	$(DO_RUNTEST) --status --outdir=gdb.perf/outputs/$* lib/build-piece.exp WORKER=$* GDB_PARALLEL=gdb.perf $(RUNTESTFLAGS) GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=compile GDB_PERFTEST_SUBMODE=build-pieces
...
@GMAKE_TRUE@	$(DO_RUNTEST) --status --directory=gdb.perf --outdir gdb.perf/workers GDB_PARALLEL=gdb.perf $(RUNTESTFLAGS) GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=compile GDB_PERFTEST_SUBMODE=gen-workers
...
@GMAKE_TRUE@	$(DO_RUNTEST) --status --directory=gdb.perf --outdir gdb.perf GDB_PARALLEL=gdb.perf $(RUNTESTFLAGS) GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=compile GDB_PERFTEST_SUBMODE=final

But there's one that doesn't:

check-perf: all $(abs_builddir)/site.exp
	@if test ! -d gdb.perf; then mkdir gdb.perf; fi
	$(DO_RUNTEST) --directory=gdb.perf --outdir gdb.perf GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=$(GDB_PERFTEST_MODE) $(RUNTESTFLAGS)

Seems like an oversight?

How about adding --status to DO_RUNTEST directly instead, so
that all invocations are always covered?

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
