  Target Milestone: ---

Pedro pointed out¹ that commit f5ef12c3f1af ("gdb/testsuite: Add
libc_has_debug_info require helper") "[will] disable the testcase on systems
that link with their libc statically (even if has debug info), or systems that
name their libc something else."

--- Comment #1 from Thiago Jung Bauermann <thiago.bauermann at linaro dot org> ---
I posted a patch restoring the original test behaviour here:

https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20240430015325.89780-1-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org/

Another alternative would be to revert commit f5ef12c3f1af. I would be ok with
that.

I'm setting the 15.1 target milestone, because this one is a regression that
seems to be in good tracks to be fixed quickly.

    gdb/testsuite: Restore libc_has_debug_info's less strict behaviour

    The code that was factored out from gdb.base/relativedebug.exp assumed that
    libc has debug info and only determined that it doesn't if it saw a
specific
    message from GDB to that effect.  In the process of factoring it into a
    require predicate, I made it stricter by trying to make a specific
    determination of whether or not debug info is available.

    Pedro noticed that "It'll disable the testcase on systems that link with
    their libc statically (even if has debug info), or systems that name their
    libc something else."  Which is something I hadn't considered.

    This patch returns libc_has_debug_info to the original behaviour.

    Also, remove a verbose message that is redundant with the $message
    variable.
