I cleaned up the test a little:

modified   tests/tcg/multiarch/gdbstub/test-qxfer-auxv-read.py
@@ -22,13 +22,9 @@ def report(cond, msg):
 def run_test():
     "Run through the tests one by one"
 
-    cond = True
-    try:
-      gdb.execute("info auxv")
-    except (gdb.error, AttributeError):
-      cond = False
-
-    report(cond, "Display the auxiliary vector of the inferior.")
+    auxv = gdb.execute("info auxv", False, True)
+    report(isinstance(auxv, str), "Fetched auxv from inferior")
+    report(auxv.find("sha1"), "Found test binary name in auxv")

 # This runs as the script it sourced (via -x, via run-test.py)


Queued to gdbstub/next, thanks.
