Well, I'm seeing the message on x86 as well.
Actually, this is even weirder: if I try this manually,
just starting gdb on the setshow test case, and running:
uweigand@br8ermyc:~/fsf/gdb-head-build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base$ ../../gdb ./setshow

I'm seeing the warning.
But if I run the whole testcase under DejaGNU, it passes, and the log
does *not* show the message ... I don't quite understand what's
going on here.
