It is well known that GDB has many failing tests. The wiki says: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/TestingGDB
> One unfortunate characteristic of the GDB testsuite is that, even if GDB is horribly broken, many tests will still pass. You can't have much confidence that things are basically working with 356 failures. You should look through gdb.log and work through a bunch of them to get a feel for the state of things.
