>Description:
In test case gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp, gdb does the wrong
thing in the following test:

(gdb) print print_small_structs(struct1, struct2, struct3,
struct4, flags, flags_combo, three_char, five_char,
int_char_combo, d1, d2, d3, f1, f2, f3)
Invalid cast.
(gdb)

What's more, the test script does not consider this a FAIL.
It considers this an XFAIL.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run the gdb test suite.
Examine the output for gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp.
>Fix:
(1) Fix the test script so that the test FAILs if gdb does
not produce correct output.

(2) Fix gdb to handle this case properly.
