There are so many instances where this would be useful that I would
like to suggest a "gdb_debug_format" procedure to be added to gdb.exp
that would determine that.

We could use a binutils utility on the test file (which we know) and
parse the output.  Does that seem reasonable?  Any other suggestions?
