I don't follow you. Do you mean "print this" in a non-const method that
replies "const A *" or "const A * const"? That's already a straight FAIL.

I would like that too. But how can the test script determine the gcc
version? I don't see a way to do this in gdb/lib.exp.
BTW I'll add a section for "const class {...} *" specifically so that
we can kfail it eventually.
