testsuite expect patterns matching tabs


I finally spent some time last evening to get the current dejagnu
installed, at least to the point where I can check native builds.

When going through failures, the first one one 'looked' right.  It
took a while to track down, but it turns out on my system, default pty
attributes have the expand-tabs-to-spaces bit set.  I don't think that
NetBSD is unique in this respect.

The test in question is correct.  Gdb emits a tab, but since tabs are
expanded to spaces, the expect pattern fails.  However, I don't know
whether its appropriate to relax the test (or tests --- I haven't had
time to look at any of the other failures) or to change the test
harness to change the pty attributes.

Thoughts?
