Dear Andrew

I am Sachin from IBM and have recently been assigned the responsibility 
to monitor and maintain gdb for IBM-powerpc.

It has been noticed that a new test case recently added to GDB 
test-suite is getting failed during execution. The case was added in the 
commit id 831b11eab51e63fb635f03001398d73dc4d888aa under your name.

=========================
FAIL: gdb.base/break-dbg.exp: catch syscall

     gdb: prevent assertion after 'set debug breakpoint on'

     Turns out that using 'set debug breakpoint on' will trigger an
     assertion for 'catch' style breakpoints, e.g.:

       (gdb) file /tmp/hello.x
       Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
       (gdb) catch exec
       Catchpoint 1 (exec)
     ...
=========================

The issue test case name and the system details are specified in the 
mail below.

Therefore, I would like to request your attention and bandwidth for 
checking the issue.

Regards:
Sachin.
