When building GDB with the following CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS as part of
configure line:
CFLAGS=-std=gnu11 CXXFLAGS=-std=gnu++11
Then run the selftest.exp, I see:
======
Running /home/lee/dev/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdb/selftest.exp
...
FAIL: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: run until breakpoint at captured_main
WARNING: Couldn't test self

======
It is the fact that when I use the previously mentioned CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS as part of the configuration line, the default value (-O2 -g)
is overridden, then GDB has no debug information. When there's no debug
information, GDB should not run the testcase in selftest.exp.
The root cause of this FAIL is that the $gdb_file_cmd_debug_info didn't
get the right value ("nodebug") during the gdb_file_cmd procedure.
That's because in this commit,

Clean up "Reading symbols" output
It changed "no debugging..." to "No debugging..." which causes the above
problem. This patch only updates the corresponding pattern to fix this
issue.
With this patch applied, I see:
