---Problem Description---

---Steps to Reproduce---
Install a P8 system with Power KVM and then install Ubuntu 14.10 guest.
Then try to build and execute the gdb source test suites as below.

root@ubuntu:~/gdb-7.8# dpkg-buildpackage -b 2>&1 | tee gdblog

                === gdb Summary ===

I've retested gdb from Ubuntu 14.04 (gdb-7.7-0ubuntu3.1) in the Ubuntu 14.10 VM provided by Pavaman and the number of failures curiously increased to 250 (in comparison to less than 140 on 14.04), which leads me to believe that there is something in the environment of Ubuntu 14.10 compromising gdb functionality in several testcases.
