Re: FAIL: gdb.base/finish.exp: finish from char_func

[Fernando Nasser <fnasser at cygnus dot com>]

This change would make this test very weak.

What target are you talking about and what character set?

We can add an "if" for this case until GDB adopts some official way
to handle different character sets.  Some mechanism to handle that
without loosen the tests too much will have to be devised then.
