We track this bug report under https://linaro.atlassian.net/browse/GNU-1753. Please let us know if you have a fix.

I have root caused this test failure to the script assuming that tcgetattr() ... tcsetattr() ... tcgetattr() will always produce a configuration that is bitwise identical to the previous configuration, which is not true with normalization. This is an invalid use of the termios structure, which is mostly an opaque data type, but gdb has a rather unique use case here in that it is a debugger, and as such "it is not bitwise identical but has the same function" might still be a problem for them.

Either way, this I believe is something that needs to be addressed in gdb; either by using the kernel interface directly for the purpose of saving and restoring, alternatively they may need some assistance in the form of a dedicated save/restore interface.

I have filed this bug in the gdb bugzilla to address this issue:
