Yes, that works for me!  Thanks for the quick fix!

However, now that the test case actually runs, it fails with:
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.exp: objcopy 1

Apparently this happens because:

objcopy -S --remove-section .gdb_index --remove-section .comment --keep-symbols=/home/uweigand/fsf/gdb-head-build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.keep_symbols /home/uweigand/fsf/gdb-head-build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-debugdata /home/uweigand/fsf/gdb-head-build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.mini_debuginfo  

returns a non-zero exit code since the original binary has no .gdb_index
section (probably because the system compiler is old) ...

Bye,
Ulrich
