(1) Relax the testsuite?
I think we should do this where possible (in some places it is tough).
(2) Fix GDB so that the new output matches the old?
That's tough. I see the old-style output when I compile the *test
program* with an old compiler (specifically, gcc 2.96 on Red Hat Linux
7), even though I am using the exact same gdb to test with. On a
stabs-based system, that type info is being passed in as strings
from the compiler, and it appears that gdb is copying it through
rather than synthesizing it from the internal parsed form.
