>Description:
bigcore.exp always generates two FAILs:
FAIL: gdb.base/bigcore.exp: check next heap (address 0x2804a010)
FAIL: gdb.base/bigcore.exp: check prev heap (address 0x3ff4a050)

The corefile says:
  6 load3         37fa1000  0804a000  00000000  00002000  2**12

GDB says:

(gdb) print $.next
$96 = (struct list *) 0xa0322008
(gdb) print $.next
Cannot access memory at address 0xa0322008

which is in the range of that dumped statement.

This is an upgraded tree.  I'll try blowing away and reconfiguring
to see if it's a BFD configury issue.
