I'm by no means a DejaGnu expert, but AFAICT it's totally harmless.  If
your tool is more complex than "hammer", you probably want to define
some Tcl procedures common to all tests for that tool, for example.  If
it really bothers you, try the meta-patch below, but I'm happy with the
combined patch you have so far.

(FWIW doing the same with dejagnu3.test yields the same warning.)

Thanks for your help.
