Yeah.  We would like gdb to support assembly code, but I don't see a
need for it to support hand-written V2 C++ stabs symbols.

I vote for killing the test in both the root and branch.

BTW I expanded my test runs to include both gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3.0.2,
so I am getting coverage of v2 support.  I haven't quite figured out how
to publish my multi-dimensional gdb.log / gdb.sum results though.
