PR compile/29541 points out that some of the C++ tests in gdb.compile will time out when the glibc debuginfo is installed. This was interfering with my hacking on gdb by making test runs extremely long, so I looked into it. Internally the bug seems to be that gdb tries to convert multiple symbols named "var" via the compiler interface; one such symbol (I didn't track it down too far) causes the C++ compiler plugin to crash. Unfortunately, the crash is reported as a timeout, as the gdb side of the plugin simply hangs. This seems like a bug in the plugin RPC mechanism and, worse, apparently when I wrote this stuff I didn't really consider error reporting very much at all, so gdb can't really detect failures in the first place. Anyway... this patch works around the timeout by compiling a simple test that should provoke this bug, and then using "untested" if it notices a GCC crash.
