FWIW, on my Linux box, I don't see the callfuncs.exp failures that you
mention either.  This is without your proposed patches.  Here's the
version info on my system...

ocotillo:gdb$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /ocotillo1/kev/devo-linux/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/cygnus-2.96/specs
gcc version cygnus-2.96 20000103
ocotillo:gdb$ uname -a
