Re: testcase for "absolute source" patch

[Michael Chastain <mec dot gnu at mindspring dot com>]

Okay.  I went and stared into space for a while about this.  Here is
what I am going to do.

I had a public comment period about build != host.  So everybody's had
a chance to provide input.  Well, everybody who as active in gdb at a
certain time last month.

I'm going to sleep on it.  Tomorrow morning, I'll make a final decision
about build != host, one way or the other.

If I kill build != host, and Eli accepts my doco patch, then we can
proceed with openp.exp.  openp.exp will get a lot simpler too.  (BTW,
when I ran the last version you sent me, I got 39 ERROR results and zero
PASS, so it needs some more work).  It still might run into
infrastructure problems, but they will be much less complex when
you can actually use "cd" in the test script.

If I keep build != host, then openp.exp is dead until we have more
infrastructure, probably a replacement for default_target_compile will
be needed.

I know it's very discouraging to work on a patch and then have it
rejected.  I've had patches rejected.  I hope this doesn't make you
forsake gdb.
