The testsuite results are just plain unusable.

# of unexpected failures 2825

# of untested testcases 7
# of unsupported tests 19
I started looking at the log file, and saw that the first 100k lines
showed GDB in an infinite loop like this:
warning: Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x1000172c.
warning: Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x1000172c.

warning: Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x1000172c.
And then, you get the same sort of problem in the following testcase:
^Z^Zframes-invalid
warning: Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x100015b8.
After that, I just gave up. 6.1.1 is history, nothing we can do now to
rescue it. The 6.2 branch seems to be in a somewhat better shape, will
test it tonight although I think it won't be any better than the head.
Michael,
if you'd like to collect the .sum and .log files, please let me know.
I'll keep them around for a day or two before deleting them.
