Re: New test failures - observer.exp, sigaltstack.exp, siginfo.exp


These new tests are all failing on my i686-pc-linux-gnu system.

sigaltstack.exp fails like this:

finish
Run till exit from #0  catcher (signal=26) at /opt/src/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sigaltstack.c:71
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 0.
Error accessing memory address 0xffffe420: Input/output error.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/sigaltstack.exp: finish from catch LEAF

The problem is that the signal trampoline is read-only.  We can't set
software breakpoints there.  I suspect there is no way to do this portably.
Should we skip it instead, i.e. finish right to the place where the signal
was raised?

Which exact kernel version? As I mentioned in another post, this works for me ....
