".*${decimal}.*y = x.* y;.*" is line noise. I would prefer something like:
gdb_test "step 3" "/\* marker for second step \*/\[\r\n\]+"
A trailing .* is to be avoided when possible; it means that warnings or
error messages could appear after the step and still pass. They can
already appear before the step, which is an unfortunate problem with
the way GDB's tests are written.
