--- Comment #5 from Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com> ---
> why don't we mark failing tests with XFAIL so as to unclutter the tests?

We do - though it's KFAIL for known gdb failures - but it takes someone to
actually do the leg work.  All help appreciated.

> - shouldn't we document about the sudo on the testsuite/README ?

I'd welcome a patch.  As you found out, it's the ptrace_scope thing that's at
play.  Running gdb under sudo isn't a good idea.

> - I am unable to find the buildbot results for a given commit to compare, e.g. binutils-2_25... is that possible? Not built-in it seems: 

Find the git repo for results of the builder you want the results for, then
look for a results commit whose subject indicates it tested the gdb commit hash
you wanted.  Note that most builders are testing master, some the 7.10 branch,
so you naturally won't find results for hashes only on other branches.
