Alright, pushed, like this:
Subject: [PATCH] Fix "maintenance selftest" printing stray instructions
The "maintenance selftest" command is printing odd bits of stray
instructions like:
~~~
brkwarning: A handler for the OS ABI "GNU/Linux" is not built into this configuration
of GDB. Attempting to continue with the default HS settings.
brkmov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0mov r0, #0breakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakbreakM3.L = 0xffff;/* ( -1) M3=0x0xffff(65535) */break 8break 8warning: A handler for the OS ABI "GNU/Linux" is not built into this configuration

etc. Those appear because here:
class gdb_disassembler_test : public gdb_disassembler
{
public:
const bool verbose = false;
explicit gdb_disassembler_test (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
const gdb_byte *insn,
size_t len)
: gdb_disassembler (gdbarch,
(verbose ? gdb_stdout : &null_stream),
gdb_disassembler_test::read_memory),
specifically in this line:
(verbose ? gdb_stdout : &null_stream),
"verbose" has not been initialized yet, because the order of
initialization is base classes first, then members. I.e. "verbose" is
only initialized after the base constructor is called. Since the
gdb_disassembler_test object is created on the stack, "verbose" has
garbage at that point. If the gargage is non-zero, then we end up
with the gdb_disassembler_test's stream incorrectly pointing to
gdb_stdout.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-02-02 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* disasm-selftests.c (print_one_insn_test): Move the "verbose"
field out of gdb_disassembler_test and make it static.
