The old test suite depends on patches but considering additional features coming in the next few weeks it's inefficient to update them for every PR. Not only that, many parts of the test suite needs to be replaced (e.g. core dump) thus it is reasonable to temporarilyarily disable testing and reenable it once the new features are merged.

I see what you mean about the patches and so on. Also I now realise these patches aren't going to apply with what you're changing.

I don't think we need to note this tbh, unless you're going on a very long quest (let's say > 6 months) to fix all this. It's not getting in anyone's way but yours and the FreeBSD community, but probably just you for now :)

So you can abandon this PR.

I haven't looked closely at the test implementation but it would certainly help if we can find a way to do this without patching LLDB. But if that's what it takes then I'm ok with it, let's deal with that question later.
