I ( still [1] ) prefer having the testsuite/README file in the tree
documenting the variables that the testsuite supports, because
those are tied to the specific GDB version in the tree, while
the (whole) wiki doesn't really distinguish that. IMO, the
wiki serves best for "recipes" and tips.
It looks like testsuite/README doesn't document GDBFLAGS though.
How about we fix that, and use 'set GDBFLAGS "-l 15"' as the
example?
I think the "Writing Tests" section of README could/should be
moved to the wiki, though, e.g., to the GDBTestcaseCookbook page.
