On Fedora (I don't know about other distros), there is a single
debuginfo file for a source package. So, if you want to do tests with
some GCC debuginfo installed, you end up with all of it. Of course you
can work around this in various ways, but it is more convenient if we
add harmless workarounds to the GDB test suite when clashes show up. I
think in the past this has mostly meant renaming the odd variable or
two.
