  I saw that gdb.dwarf2/staticvirtual.exp was failing on some bare-metal 
targets.  This test manufactures some DWARF for a function at address 
0x1000, and the regexp was only matching if that address wasn't mapped 
on the target.  Our hardware nios2-elf test boards don't have memory 
mapped there, but the simulator we use for testing does.  I also saw 
similar failures on arm-none-eabi.  On Nios II and ARM GNU/Linux targets 
this address is unmapped so the test is passing.

Since it appears that the point of this test is to ensure that GDB 
doesn't crash, I don't think there's any actual requirement for the 
address to be unmapped, and no reason not to generalize the test to 
count any reasonable output as a PASS.  So, I've checked in the attached 
patch under the obvious fix rule.
