Blasphemy!  :-P  Hopefully it'll be a simple issue, like, me
installing the new hooks incorrectly..

I also filed PRs for the gdbserver regressions I had mentioned before.

 [Bug go/17018] New: XFAIL: gdb.go/hello.exp: Starting string check

Likely most of those are system/gcc related though.  I'm diffing
against a gdb.sum from a month ago, and I updated my Fedora in
the mean time...  Still, it's shame that all these are failing
on newer systems.

I'll run the testsuite on my current system against 7.7,
diff the result against mainline, and update the PRs with
what I find out.  If they fail on 7.7 as well, they're not
regressions, so can't be blockers.
