It seems older and non-multiarach aware GDBs might not fail gracefully
when faced with something they don't know. For example when faced with
a target XML for s390x the Ubuntu 18.04 gdb will generate an internal
fault and prompt for a core dump.
Work around this by invoking GDB in a more batch orientated way and
then trying to filter out between test failures and gdb failures.

The aim of these tests is to combine with an appropriate kernel
image (with symbol-file vmlinux) and check it behaves as it should.
Given a kernel it checks:
- single step
- software breakpoint
- hardware breakpoint
- access, read and write watchpoints
On success it returns 0 to the calling process.
I've not plumbed this into the "make check" logic though as we need a
solution for providing non-host binaries to the tests. However the test
is structured to work with pretty much any Linux kernel image as it
uses the basic kernel_init code which is common across architectures.
