Hello,
[GNU-796] Stabilize GDB testsuite results in the CI:
- Finished implementing ABE's support for rerunning failed tests using Maxim's idea of leveraging validate_failures.py to determine which tests need to be rerun. Submitted v3 and v4 versions, and committed v4.
- Investigated why tcwg-abet-tested jobs have been failing in the CI. Found out that Jenkins sets a bogus core.hooksPath in the git repo config. Submitted and merged a gerrit request fixing the problem.
- Investigated why cross-build gdbserver needs GMP and MPFR (and is thus failing to build) in tcwg-gnu-build jobs. Submitted Gerrit review request to fix it.
- Started looking into why re-enabling GDB testsuite parallelism makes it run fewer tests.
- Investigated why cross-build gdbserver needs GMP and MPFR (and is thus
failing to build) in tcwg-gnu-build jobs. Submitted Gerrit review request to fix it.
This seems to be related to my change to the toplevel makefiles. Are you just building gdbserver only or gdb too? What are the configure options that is being passed here?

Indeed it is related. We build GDB and gdbserver but do so as separate builds, so in practice we do build gdbserver only.
The fix I am applying is to use the '--disable-gdb' configure flag.
From my commit message:
This became necessary since binutils-gdb commit 991180627851 ("Use toplevel configure for GMP and MPFR for gdb"), which made the top-level configure script require GMP and MPFR to build GDB. Later, commit 5fb0e3085771 ("configure: remove dependencies on gmp and mpfr when gdb is disabled") removed this requirement when the --disable-gdb option is passed.
As for the configure options, they are:
.../binutils-gdb.git~gdb-13-branch/configure SHELL=/bin/bash \ --with-gnu-ld --enable-plugins --enable-tui \ --with-pkgversion=Linaro_GDB-2023.03.17 --disable-gas \ --disable-binutils --disable-elfcpp --disable-ld --disable-gold \ --disable-gprof --with-python=python3 --disable-shared \ --enable-static --build=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu \ --host=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=/some/prefix/usr \ --disable-gdb
The last one was added just now.
