hm. gdb runs on more systems than expect does, and my feeling at
the moment is that it's sometimes easier to do build!=host
testing than it is to get expect running, like on weird embedded
linux devices.
not that I particularly like the testsuite complications added by
build!=host, but I don't know a better alternative yet.
