[issue32834] test_gdb fails with Posix locale in 3.7

I can reproduce this, but it looks to me like it's being triggered by UTF-8 mode rather than locale coercion (the "LC_ALL=C" setting will implicitly disable locale coercion entirely):

```
$ LANG=C PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn ./python -We -m test -uall -m test_strings test_gdb
Python detected LC_CTYPE=C: LC_CTYPE coerced to C.UTF-8 (set another locale or PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=0 to disable this locale coercion behavior).
Run tests sequentially
0:00:00 load avg: 0.34 [1/1] test_gdb
1 test OK.

Total duration: 2 sec
Tests result: SUCCESS

$ LC_ALL=C PYTHONUTF8=0 ./python -We -m test -uall -m test_strings test_gdb
Run tests sequentially
0:00:00 load avg: 0.17 [1/1] test_gdb
1 test OK.

Total duration: 2 sec
Tests result: SUCCESS
```

I expect the fix will be to adjust test_gdb's expectations in this case,  as there's going to be a genuine difference between gdb's locale dependent behaviour and Python's UTF-8 mode behaviour.
