Skip gdb.server/ tests if lack of XML support
I recently see some gdb.server/*.exp fails in my native gdb testing, in which libexpat isn't available, so GDB isn't able to parse xml file. It causes gdb.server/ tests fails because GDB can't get registers correctly from GDBserver. (gdb) PASS: gdb.server/connect-without-multi-process.exp: multiprocess=off: break main target remote localhost:2352^M Remote debugging using localhost:2352^M warning: Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time^M Reading /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 from remote target...^M warning: File transfers from remote targets can be slow.

However, GDBserver doesn't know this (IMO, this is a defect in RSP), and still choose the right target description to create regcache and 'g' packet. If the port only has one target description or coincidentally two sides choose the same target description, there is no such issue. Otherwise, GDB is broken on read registers. This patch is to skip gdbserver tests if XML is not support and the target has multiple target descriptions. gdb/testsuite: 2016-07-21 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * lib/gdbserver-support.exp (skip_gdbserver_tests): Return 1 if gdb_skip_xml_test is true on some targets.
