Thanks for testing.  Indeed, I had never noticed that.  I can't say
I'm fond of the:

 "We generously give ourselves one "pass" if we
  successfully detect that this test cannot be run on this target!"

pattern in this tests. :-)  I wonder who shall I complain
about that to.  ;-)

Let me try to fix that before you commit.  Should be simple.
Other tests had the same issue, and I thought I had fixed them
all, but obviously this one slipped.

I took a look at your patch.

Can you do the return outside of gdb_test_multiple please?
I saw a few other instances in tfind.exp.  Otherwise, looked fine.
