I don't (dejagnu doesn't work on DOS), but I can easily run the same
test manually.

Something's definitely wrong, because "set target-charset TAB" just
beeps, and if I type RET, it says:
(gdb) set target-charset
Requires an argument. Valid arguments are .
So it thinks there are no charsets available. Maybe the line marked
below, shown as part of GDB initialization, is a hint to the trouble:
D:\gdb-68.410\gdb>gdb ./gdb.exe

I will look into it. Thanks for the leads.
