"make check" doesn't work on RedHat 9?

[H. J. Lu]

Does "make check" work RedHat 9? I got

Running /export/gnu/src/gdb/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/printcmds.exp ...
ERROR: (DejaGnu) proc "setup_kfail gdb/538 *-*-*" does not exist.
The error code is NONE
The info on the error is:
close: spawn id exp6 not open
    while executing
"close -i exp6"
    invoked from within


RedHat 9 has dejagnu 1.4.2. I was told dejagnu 1.4.3 and cvs doesn't
work with binutils:

The dejagnu that ships with RHL9 doesn't have the kfail stuff in it.

I don't know what that problem is.  No one investigated it.

I use 1.4.3 all the time.

I installed 1.4.3 on RedHat 9. It works with binutils. It may be a ppc
specific problem.

I am very amazed that 1.4.3 works. I need the patch enclosed here.
Otherwise, it will pick the wrong runtest.exp.

gdb requires dejagnu 1.4.3 or sourceware dejagnu (which is very close to
1.4.3), because of the new kfail features found in 1.4.3.

I just install dejagnu 1.4.3 in its own directory and then add that
directory to my $PATH when I test gdb.  I also do that with bison,
flex, gnu make, binutils, and gcc.  It's blunt but it works for me.
