I recall once trying to run the testsuite on OpenSolaris
(several years ago, maybe 2008.11, though I don't really
recall exactly), and running into lots and lots of timeouts.
I think it had something to do with gdb + expect + dejagnu not
agreeing over end lines, \r\n vs \n, etc.  ISTR trying to
work around it with stty settings.  

I'm having trouble finding the email in the archives, though.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
