- Subject: [rfa/doco] Test Suite: build != host
This patch documents that the gdb test suite is supported with
build != host, but that some test scripts do not work and
will return UNRESOLVED if build != host.
I don't know if "UNRESOLVED" needs some kind of @foo{...}
markup.
Testing: rebuilt gdb doco, it looked okay.
Okay to commit?
