Description Jan Kratochvil 2016-07-05 14:39:40 UTC

powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu:
FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp: ptype f
FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp: ptype g
FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-lexical-block-bare.exp: p testvar
FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/atomic-type.exp: ptype f

but:
powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu does PASS them (ppc64le does not use function descriptors anymore)

I have no real idea how to implement tcl gdb_target_symbol in a function descriptor compatible way.
