Given this comment in
http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001468#c30 I assume at
some point a newer toolchain will be provided which has a gdb with the
'g' packet length resolved?

If so I would prefer rather to wait until the newer toolchain is
provided since the tests would need to be re-run.  The farm has just hit
the 9000 test mark for this platform with no new additional test
failures, other than the same tests already reported in different
configurations.
