I've done some experimenting on my systems, and the pattern seems to be
this:

* On multiprocessor machines with #:parallel-tests? enabled, gdb-7.7
  successfully builds.

* On single-processor machines, or with #:parallel-tests? disabled, the
  build always fails because "make check" fails.

Therefore, building gdb-7.7 always fails on my YeeLoong, no matter the
setting of #:parallel-tests?, presumably because that machine has only a
single processor.

Building gdb-7.7 on the Loongson 3A machine or my dual-core x86_64
machine works, but if I add "#:parallel-tests? #f" then the build fails
on both of these machines.

I think we should disable tests in gdb before the 0.6 release.
What do you think?

Yes, sounds like it.

Afterwards we should work on that with input from the GDB people.

Thanks for investigating!
