I was mistaken. Both of these tests - dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp
and atomic-type.exp - have problems due to the fact that the call to
gdb_target_symbol appears within a DW_TAG_ construct. The proc
_handle_DW_TAG performs command and variable expansion within a DW_TAG_
construct. (It does other things too.)
When I remove my change to dwarf.exp, this what I see in the log
file:
ERROR: tcl error sourcing /ironwood1/sourceware-git/mesquite-native/bld/../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp.

The reason for this is that '[gdb_target_symbol' is one list element
and 'f]' is another. The code, as it was originally written, invoked
subst on just a single element. When invoked on (just) '[gdb_target_symbol'
it rightly complains about the "missing close-bracket".
My change joins the list elements together and then invokes subst on
them:
if {[llength $attr] > 2} {
set attr_value [uplevel 2 [list subst [join [lrange $attr 1 end-1]]]]
} else {
set attr_value [uplevel 2 [list subst [lindex $attr 1]]]
}
versus just this line, originally:
set attr_value [uplevel 2 [list subst [lindex $attr 1]]]
I was hoping to write this somewhat more compactly, but we need to
accomodate the case where a form is not provided. The original statement,
in the else clause, still handles this.
Thanks again for your comments.

Fixed in the new version...
gdb.dwarf2: Define and use gdb_target_symbol for symbol prefixes
Some of the tests in gdb.dwarf2 which use Dwarf::assemble refer to
(minimal/linker) symbols created in the course of building a small
test program. Some targets use a prefix such as underscore ("_") on
these symbols. Many of the tests in gdb.dwarf2 do not take this into
account. As a consequence, these tests fail to build, resulting
either in failures or untested testcases.
Here is an example from gdb.dwarf2/dw2-regno-invalid.exp:
Dwarf::assemble $asm_file {
cu {} {
compile_unit {
{low_pc main DW_FORM_addr}
{high_pc main+0x10000 DW_FORM_addr}
} {
...
}
For targets which require an underscore prefix on linker symbols,
the two occurrences of "main" would have to have a prepended underscore,
i.e. _main instead of main.
For the above case, a call to the new proc gdb_target_symbol is used
prepend the correct prefix to the symbol. I.e. the above code is
rewritten (as shown in the patch) as follows:
Dwarf::assemble $asm_file {
cu {} {
compile_unit {
{low_pc [gdb_target_symbol main] DW_FORM_addr}
{high_pc [gdb_target_symbol main]+0x10000 DW_FORM_addr}
} {
...
}
I also found it necessary to make an adjustment to lib/dwarf.exp so that
expressions of more than just one list element can be used in DW_TAG_...
constructs. Both atomic-type.exp and dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp require
this new functionality.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_target_symbol_prefix, gdb_target_symbol):
New procs.
* lib/dwarf.exp (_handle_DW_TAG): Handle attribute values,
representing expressions, of more than one list element.
* gdb.dwarf2/atomic-type.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Use gdb_target_symbol
to prepend linker symbol prefix to f.
* gdb.dwarf2/data-loc.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise, for
table_1 and table_2.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp (Dwarf::assemble):
Likewise, for f and g.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ifort-parameter.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise,
for ptr.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-regno-invalid.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise,
for main.
* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise, for
table_1_ptr and table_2_ptr.
