I think it's fine to do this.

In the past we've done two additional things that make it slightly nicer.

First, we've checked in the original source file as a separate file, I
think along with a note in the .exp about it.  This approach lets you
avoid this:

Keith> +# WARNING: This is hard-coded from the original source file! This

... since you can refer to comments in the original source file IIRC.


Second, I think we've edited the compilation directory in the .S file,
and maybe other little details as well (I had to edit the files to avoid
'main' for some reason I cannot remember):

You can easily find some examples in gdb.dwarf2, just follow one of
those.
