        * gdb_gcore.sh: Use a temporary file.  Use gdb from $PATH.

GDB before did not print anything due to >/dev/null there.

I do not find it easy to suppress just the normal_stop() message.
One can still get the original behavior by the >/dev/null redirect of gcore.
One can use the option `-o' to specific the gcore filename instead of parsing the one printed by GDB.

I do not think a fix is needed.
