This test looks really nice and thorough.

I think "unsupported" would be more appropriate.

This comment seems wrong/outdated.

"unsupported" here too?

If you want to make this shorter, you could use lassign:
https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TclCmd/lassign.htm
Something like:
lassign [function_range main [list ${srcdir}/${subdir}/$srcfile]] \
main_start main_len
I see that you use expressions like " [lindex $main_func 0]" below, it would
be clearer to always use the *_start or *_len variables.

ranges_label and ranges2_label could perhaps have more expressive names?

This can be
gdb_assert {$foo_low_addr != $foo_addr} "foo and foo_low are at different addresses"

We should avoid having trailing parenthesis in test messages:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDBTestcaseCookbook#Do_not_use_.22tail_parentheses.22_on_test_messages
In a test like yours, that is really multiple independent scenarios tested one
after the other, I like to structure the test like this:
proc_with_prefix test_something {} {
...
}
proc_with_prefix test_something_else {} {
...
}
test_something
test_something_else
Using proc_with_prefix automatically prefixes test names with the name of the
proc (which is usually self-explanatory). This avoids have to manually
differentiate test names such as in "break foo (2nd time)".
I also like to do a clean_restart at the beginning of each test procedure, to
reduce the chance of inter-dependency between each test procedure, though it's
not strictly necessary.
