Yes, copy+modify dw2-bad-parameter-type.{exp,S}.
Sometimes thinking after writing so many gdb.dwarf2/ testcases it could be more
time effective to write some script generator for it instead.
OTOH the gdb.dwarf2/ testcases are for various special cases of DWARF and even
about invalid DWARF. So which generated parts can be automated? Maybe not many.
