Thanks for reporting that.  Fixed by the patch below.

The latter use of test -s looks ok to me.

It matters only for the first one,
in case the shell prints a diagnostic to stderr.
For the others it wasn't necessary.  Good catch.

FWIW, with gcc, this test is skipped unless you compile without
optimization, so it's not very useful, other than perhaps as a
model.  Note that Paul Eggert's two brand new scripts

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=summary

test for nearly the same condition, and don't rely on gdb at all.
