Adding file to gdb

Ah, you need dejagnu 1.4.3 or later.  Gdb uses the new 'kfail'
feature of dejagnu 1.4.3.

There are two ways to get this.  You can download dejagnu from
ftp.gnu.org or a mirror site, build it with the "--prefix" option, and
add the installation directory to your path.  Or, you can "cvs checkout
dejagnu" from sources.redhat.com, which is almost identical to dejagnu
1.4.3.

Dejagnu requires TCL and Expect.  The "dejagnu" module from
sources.redhat.com includes TCL + Expect + Dejagnu, and it also has
Makefile magic to use the dejagnu in the tree to use that dejagnu
instead of the one in your path.

A lot of people who work on gdb just do "cvs checkout gdb+dejagnu".
I run a test bed with the stock FSF version of dejagnu instead of
the sources.redhat.com version.  Either way is good.
