Hi Andreas,
I still see some fails in gnu_vector.exp in various architectures,

Here are some fails on ppc64be-m64, as I found from buildbot
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q3/msg01198.html

new FAIL: gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: call add_some_intvecs
new FAIL: gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: call add_various_floatvecs
new FAIL: gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: finish shows vector return value
new FAIL: gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: verify vector return value (the program exited)

Does GDB support vector infcall on ppc64be?  I checked the test result
on ppc64le https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q3/msg01201.html
but gnu_vector.exp isn't compiled successfully (due to old gcc?)  this
case isn't compiled successfully on aix buildslave either.

I also see two fails on s390x from buildbot
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q3/msg00957.html

FAIL: gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: finish shows vector return value
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: verify vector return value (the program exited)

IIUC, vector infcall should be supported on s390 GDB, right?

I also see some vector infcall fails on both arm and aarch64 too.  What
GDB targets should support vector infcall?  ppc64 (le and be) and s390?
I am wondering we should only do the vector infcall tests on the
supported GDB targets, and skip for the rest of them.
