            Bug ID: 31197
           Summary: [gdb/testsuite, root] FAIL:
                    gdb.base/gdb-index-err.exp: flag=: try to write index
                    to a non-writable directory
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: testsuite
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

In a container with openSUSE tumbleweed, I see:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-index-err.exp: flag=: try to write index to a non-writable
directory
FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-index-err.exp: flag=-dwarf-5: try to write index to a
non-writable directory
...

I suppose this is because I'm running as root.

    [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.base/gdb-index-err.exp for root user

    When running test-case gdb.base/gdb-index-err.exp in a container as root
user,
    I run into:
    ...
    FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-index-err.exp: flag=: \
      try to write index to a non-writable directory
    FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-index-err.exp: flag=-dwarf-5: \
      try to write index to a non-writable directory
    ...

    The test-case creates a directory without write permissions:
    ...
    $ ls -ald private
    dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 06:26 private/
    ...
    but apparently the root user is still able to write in it.

    Fix this by making the test unsupported for the root user.

    Tested on x86_64-linux.
