I completely agree with this. It seems to me that, for now, we should
just add KFAIL's using either gdb_expect or using setup_kfail+gdb_test
(with both being acceptable, depending on the test writer's
preferences). If somebody eventually writes a spiffy
gdb_test_multiple which unifies both of their virtues, then we can go
back and convert those new KFAILs to use that format (along with
existing gdb_expects). My message was only meant to brainstorm on the
possible design of such a gdb_test_multiple.
