This patch will probably go in tomorrow when I wake up, if Pedro
approves it.  It is also simple enough to be committed to 7.5.

I see them also on s390x as you pointed out, but not on ppc64.

I seem some failures on s390x as well:

    +FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: child: singlethreaded: breakpoint after the second fork (timeout)
    +FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: child: singlethreaded: watchpoint after the second fork
    +FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: child: singlethreaded: finish

Could you tell which C++ regressions are those?  I see this on
PPC64/s390x:

-PASS: gdb.cp/inherit.exp: print g_vB (FIXME v3 vtbl ptr)
-PASS: gdb.cp/inherit.exp: print g_vC (FIXME v3 vtbl ptr)
+FAIL: gdb.cp/inherit.exp: print g_vB
+FAIL: gdb.cp/inherit.exp: print g_vC
...
-PASS: gdb.cp/inherit.exp: print g_vE (FIXME v3 vtbl ptr)
+FAIL: gdb.cp/inherit.exp: print g_vE

-PASS: gdb.cp/virtbase.exp: print *this
+FAIL: gdb.cp/virtbase.exp: print *this
...
-PASS: gdb.cp/virtbase.exp: print *(D *) e
+FAIL: gdb.cp/virtbase.exp: print *(D *) e


I am investigating the last two (virtbase.exp), since I had a brief
discussion with Jan about the inherit.exp one and he mentioned it is
probably a compiler issue (though I could not confirm yet).

I am not seeing this on ppc64 RHEL 6.3.

Fully passing for me on s390x RHEL 6.3.

> - Failures in gdb.dwarf2/dw2-icc-opaque.exp on SPU and s390 (likewise)

I can confirm on s390x, and I am also seeing on ppc64.

Please keep me informed if it is possible, I am also tackling some
regressions as you are.

Thanks,
