Sigh, you're right. I should have done this in several stages,
where the first stage is lot of gdb_test_multiple with no change
in output.
I can go back and make it that way if you want. Shall I do that?

Of course it's acceptable if gdb does *not* print the virtual base
pointer.
If gdb *does* print a virtual base pointer, do we consider that a
bug in gcc? Because that's what "XFAIL" means. Or is it a bug in gdb?
Then I should file a PR for it.
My opinion is that we should just accept it. There's far worse bugs
in C++ support that aren't getting any attention.
