[RFC] Use untested for macscp.exp if no macro information generated

I tried to simplify my patch for macro support
in order to get less uninteresting failures.

This test issues a huge number of failures if the
debugging format does not support macro information.
This is the default for gcc-3 on cygwin.

make check RUNTESTFLAGS=gdb.base/macscp.exp
results currently in:
                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            69
# of unexpected failures        158
# of known failures             87
/usr/local/src/gdbcvs/build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdb version
6.8.50.20090127-cvs -nw -nx

By forcing gcc-4 usage, 
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="gdb.base/macscp.exp CC_FOR_TARGET=gcc-4"
                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            295
# of known failures             19
/usr/local/src/gdbcvs/build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdb version
6.8.50.20090127-cvs -nw -nx


After this patch:
make check RUNTESTFLAGS=gdb.base/macscp.exp
results currently in:
                === gdb Summary ===
FAIL: gdb.base/macscp.exp: info macro WHERE after `list main' (undefined)

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            1
# of unexpected failures        1
# of untested testcases         1
/usr/local/src/gdbcvs/build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdb version
6.8.50.20090127-cvs -nw -nx

The gcc-4 case remains unchanged
which means that targets supporting macro debug information
should remain unaffected by this patch.

 Is this lighter version OK?

  Once again, I was hesitating on the ChangeLog
