I an talking about gdb testsuite. I can not see how the patch could
break anything, but for extra safety I did `make check'. I tested
Pascal support by hand, just debugging actual programs. There
are other problems with Pascal support, but set info is a critical
problem, unpatched gdb gets stuck repeatedly trying (and failing)
to read a set type. With the patch it is possible to do usefull
debugging.
