Thats fine

np, this is also duplicated in the 2 .exp files,
i should figure out if i can somehow include it from the gdb.objc?

yeah, I tried to fix all of these in the patch,
there are a couple gdb_test_multiple's left that looks like they need to be.

I also added the setup_kfails, adjusted the existing kfails to use the
bugzilla #.
I will try to remember to go through grep and look for more in testsuite/

well, theres a lot of tests that pass that just involve various setup
for the tests which fail, i think ideally, these would not be tests,
but e.g. if i just do send_gdb
I seem to run into lots of timing issues, i just kfailed the ones that do fail.

ChangeLog is in the git patch header.
