Reverting to an earlier revision of the DejaGNU Framework did not help.

I also updated all of the packages installed on the Debian system,
including the kernel, but the problem still remains.  make check is
reporting a large number of timeouts in gdb.base and gdb.thread. At
300s per timeout, it adds up -- eventually to 9 hours.  Some of the
log files are attached.
