We have spent a lot of time over the last few months getting the
testsuite to run on mingw. A mingw-built GDB does not work well
with a Cygwin expect. The flush is actually a symptom of a larger
problem: isatty returns false when running in expect, but the
testsuite is written as if it runs on a terminal.
We've got a couple of patches. Some of them we can submit because
they're only moderately ugly, but others are just horrible. Can you
test a Cygwin-built GDB instead? It's a lot easier, it works a lot
better, and it tests more or less the same code.
I can try to separate out the postable patches later this week if
you'd like.
