Yes, this is on my list of gdb failures that I am looking at.  I have
only been able to spend a little time looking at it before getting
distracted.  It looks like you have identified the issue a bit more
than I have so far. 

I have been trying to work my way thru the list of GDB failures on
PowerPC for the last year+.  We have made good progress reducing the
number of failures on PowerPC.  I am trying to finish up a patch for 
gdb.reverse/finish-precsave.exp and gdb.reverse/finish-reverse.exp then
I hope to get back to this bug and the issue with gdb.base/store.exp.

Thanks for the bugzilla.
