When I run x.py test on Linux, debuginfo/empty-string.rs test failed with
the following error:

It seems like gdb cannot load the pretty printer:
Run the script manually, I got:

rust-gdb load and run the script fine.

Visited during wg-debugging triage. We can't repro this and we think what occurred is that gdb 7 (from the bug report) is simply too old for our visualization scripts to work correctly. The test in question currently contains a // min-gdb-version: 8.1 directive so this shouldn't happen again.

As such, we're going to close this since it can't be repro'd.
