Hey Dan,

Well, because the GDB testsuite still has tests that fail intermitently,
I was mostly talking about the failures on
gdb.threads/fork-thread-pending.exp and gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp.

Yeah, as Pedro already explained in this message, our testsuite is not
entirely clean.  But a "New FAIL", in general, means that a regression
has been introduced.

Oh, this one is racy.  But if you're interested in following this up,
you can get the logs here:

  <http://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/cgit>

You have to choose the repository with the same name as the builder you
saw the failure, and then, inside it, you can look for a git tag
containing the commit hash (from the upstream GDB repo) that triggered
the failure.  Or, if you have the message from gdb-testers, you can see
the direct link to the logs in the "Testsuite log (gdb.sum and gdb.log)
URL(s):" field.

Thanks for looking into this.  As I said, I think the priority should be
the new failures on gdb.threads/fork-thread-pending.exp and
gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp.

Cheers,
