Given this comment in http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001468#c30 I assume at some point a newer toolchain will be provided which has a gdb with the 'g' packet length resolved? If so I would prefer rather to wait until the newer toolchain is provided since the tests would need to be re-run. The farm has just hit the 9000 test mark for this platform with no new additional test failures, other than the same tests already reported in different configurations.
