---Problem Description---
gdb source test suites are failing in Ubuntu14.10
 
Machine Type = P8 
 
---Steps to Reproduce---
Install a P8 system with Power KVM and then install Ubuntu 14.10 guest.
Then try to build and execute the gdb source test suites as below.

root at ubuntu:~# apt-get source gdb
root at ubuntu:~# cd gdb-7.8/
root at ubuntu:~/gdb-7.8# dpkg-buildpackage -b 2>&1 | tee gdblog

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            25009
# of unexpected failures        287
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          66
# of unknown successes          1
# of known failures             59
# of unresolved testcases       3

I've retested gdb from Ubuntu 14.04 (gdb-7.7-0ubuntu3.1) in the Ubuntu 14.10 VM provided by Pavaman and the number of failures curiously increased to 250 (in comparison to less than 140 on 14.04), which leads me to believe that there is something in the environment of Ubuntu 14.10 compromising gdb functionality in several testcases.
