Could you please run it also on GNU/Linux as some final test? If you do not
have one available there are various test boxes available at sourceforge.net
and similar sites or contact me offlist. Testsuite on GNU/Linux should IMO
catch most of the possible regressions.

One `make check' should take at most about 20 minutes in worst cases, some
5 minutes should be more normal. Sure it is being run just as a final test.
Many FAIL results are normal, just regressions are worth a check.

I use
cd gdb/testsuite
make site.exp # needed just once
runtest runtest gdb.base/start.exp
but probably more correct is to just run:
cd gdb/testsuite
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="gdb.base/start.exp"

No problem just please try to follow the spacing/indentation of the code
around despite it looks unusual.

Yes, I agree, it may be even a single problem.

:-) Some existing GDB code may not follow it but I do not know much of such
places offhand.
(The GNU coding style really was not a primary concern of my mail, feel free
to keep the code parts which you are not sure about the formatting intact.)
Thanks,
