    gnu_vector.exp: Avoid some more known FAILs
    
    This avoids two more types of FAILs with the gnu_vector test case.
    
    First, for POWER targets newer GCCs emit an ABI note when invoked with
    "-mcpu=native".  Then the test case fell back to non-native compile,
    producing code for a non-vector ABI.  But that is not supported by GDB.
    Thus the compiler note is now suppressed with "-Wno-psabi".
    
    Second, on s390 the test case produced FAILs after falling back to a
    non-vector ABI when using "finish" or "return" in a vector-valued
    function.  This was due to a long-standing known bug (Bug 8549).  This
    case is now detected, and KFAILs are emitted instead.
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: Try compilation with "-mcpu=native
    	-Wno-psabi" if "-mcpu=native" fails.  For the tests with "finish"
    	and "return" use KFAIL when GDB can not read/write the vector
    	return value.
