Actually, it's very easy: set a flag when you see the each message,
exp_continue if you haven't seen the other. This is fine too.

Hmm, two things: I don't think a WARNING is appropriate (there's
nothing wrong), how about just an UNTESTED? And, when matching
patterns in gdb_test_multiple (the same was true in gdb_expect)
it's important to anchor the end of the pattern to the GDB prompt.
Otherwise that prompt might not be consumed by expect, causing
new tests added at the end of the file to fail.
If you agree about the UNTESTED, with those changes it's fine to check
in. My test runs thank you.
