Hello Florian and Bart,

The version check should now work thanks to the recent additions by Bart 
of the prereq that gdb link must be present in the gdbserver_tests directory.

Bart, note that some gdbserver tests are testing vgdb standalone,
and are not using gdb.
For these tests, the prerequisite that gdb is available and has the good version 
is too strict.

These tests are:  mchelp, mcinvokeRU, mcinvokeWS.
They (are supposed to) work even if no gdb is present.
