[issue8605] gdb API issues

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

My intuition about an API problem seems to be mistaken. If I compile Python in debug mode without any optimizations ("CFLAGS='' ./configure --with-pydebug"), all tests pass. The default builds of Python use -O2 nowadays, even in debug mode (issue8625), which makes some of the tests fail.

Perhaps test_gdb, or some of its tests, should be skipped when compiler optimizations were enabled. Now we have to find out how to get that information.
