It is well known that GDB has many failing tests. The wiki says:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/TestingGDB

> One unfortunate characteristic of the GDB testsuite is that, even if
GDB is horribly broken, many tests will still pass.  You can't have much
confidence that things are basically working with 356 failures. You
should look through gdb.log and work through a bunch of them to get a
feel for the state of things.
