Based on an [earlier discussion](https://github.com/riscv/riscv-openocd/pull/549#issuecomment-710164975), I have put together this CI automation that builds OpenOCD, obtains other needed dependencies (Spike and the toolchain), then finally executes everything together via [riscv-tests/debug](https://github.com/riscv/riscv-tests/tree/master/debug)...

After applying the [latest patch for the asserts](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26819#c20) to GDB, I am no longer getting any assertions. Results (executed locally, not via Github Actions): ``` INFO:root: +================+ INFO:root: | Failed...

The patch for the GDB assertion issue has been merged, and the patched GDB can now be built manually from the binutils-gdb/master. The binary version of the toolchain with this...
