On SLE-11, I run into:
...
(gdb) if 1^M
>shell HOME=/dev/null PS1="gdb-subshell$ " /bin/sh^M
>end^M
hostname:/dir> FAIL: gdb.base/multi-line-starts-subshell.exp: \
spawn subshell from multi-line (timeout)
...
The problem is that the PS1 setting has no effect, due to a bug on older
openSUSE/SLE version. The mechanism there is:
- /etc/profile sets ENV=/etc/bash.bashrc
- /bin/sh is started
- /bin/sh executes ENV, in other words /etc/bash.bashrc
- during the execution of /etc/bash.bashrc, PS1 is set unconditionally
Fix this by setting PS1 after spawning the subshell.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
