I've done this now.  I had to rerun all testing in non-parallel mode
to get good diffs...

The "good" news, I get all those FAILs with 7.7 too, so not
regressions.

Apart from the break-interp-exp crashes Markus has a fix for, and
a few PASS -> XFAIL that are marked as GCC bugs, I saw this
with both native and gdbserver:

 -PASS: gdb.cp/koenig.exp: p entry (c)
 +FAIL: gdb.cp/koenig.exp: p entry (c)

This is:

 Regression for gdb.cp/koenig.exp: p entry (c) [Re: [RFA] Fix c++/16253 (tag/variable name collision)]
 https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-04/msg00374.html

I don't know the current status of that one.  Keith?

and this one on native:

-PASS: gdb.base/pie-execl.exp: continue
-PASS: gdb.base/pie-execl.exp: pie_execl_marker address second
-PASS: gdb.base/pie-execl.exp: pie_execl_marker address has changed
+ERROR: Process no longer exists
+UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/pie-execl.exp: continue

I looked at the backtrace and it's the same as with the
break-interp.exp crashes, so it'll likely be fixed with
Markus' patch.
