I'm a bit undecided about this. But one (not completely trivial but
probably a good idea) would be to rewrite these tests to use the python
extensions to gdb. These have shown themselves to be more robust and
portable between different gdb versions. We already use these extensions
(in T380-atomicity.py) so it wouldn't be adding a new dependency.
