No.  In gdb.trace/mi-trace-unavailable.exp, we'll save trace data to
ctf and test "--skip-unavailable" for MI command
"-data-list-register-values".  These two are not supported in 7.6 tree,
so we'll get three fails:

FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-trace-unavailable.exp: save ctf trace file
FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-trace-unavailable.exp: live: -data-list-register-values --skip-unavailable x
FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-trace-unavailable.exp: tfile: -data-list-register-values --skip-unavailable x

I filed PR gdb/15837 (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15837)
and record it in wiki like this:

PR gdb/15837 (GDB prints entry values for local variables)

Here is the patch to 7.6 branch.
