Well, I'm choosing to ignore it for native hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11,
until after function calls work, and C++ works, and the internal
hp_aCC_compiler variable works, and the other 200 ERRORs and
2000 FAILs have gotten some attention.
It's just annoying to open up gdb.log and the first 4 ERRORs and 5
WARNINGs are things that I know I won't fix this month. I keep having
to look past this to get to more important problems.

That's what gdb_suppress_entire_file is supposed to do now, but it
doesn't work. It sets a little state variable that is supposed to FAIL
every test in the current file. But I still get a slow of
ERROR/WARNING on top of the 28 FAILs.
If I can't change asm-source.exp, I guess I'll just keep ignoring
the results by hand. At least it's not incurring timeouts.
