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.
