I'm a bit confused by this. For me if gdb is missing I get

 missing prerequisites: gdb(1)
 SKIP   all tests in T380-atomicity

...

All 1842 tests behaved as expected (8 expected failures).
All tests in 1 file skipped.

Do I misunderstand something, or is prerequisite detection not working
for you?
