Hi Luis,
Andrew Burgess had a patch changing "<error reading variable: value has
been optimized out>" to "<optimized out>" in this thread,

  PATCH: error reading variable: value has been optimized out
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00715.html

so I think "<optimized out>" is the right direction to go.  We should
fix gdb rather than update test case to match the current output, IMO.
