Yes I know. Indeed if gdb is not installed yet at this stage, then the gcc testsuite should automatically skip these tests. So I guess Ken did not follow the LFS guidelines by the book. ;) For me LFS was a very good inspiration, however I definitely do not follow it "by the book". I am using it to bootstrap a GNU toolchain (so only gcc/glibc/binutils), and in my script, I never chroot. I rely on the system for everything else than the GNU toolchain, and my system has gdb installed, that's why, in my case, "guality" tests are run. I have well understood that you don't not provide support for people who don't follow exactly the LFS guidelines, but I am not looking for support, just trying to explain some issues I have run into myself.
