The macros are not supposed to run anything on target hardware. 
But grep'ing the gdb source, I see this:

./gdb/valops.c: error (_("No memory available to program: call to malloc 
failed"));

which appears to indicate that the script tried.   It looks like it made 
it down to
rtems_helper_score_threadq and that tried to do something on the target but
I don't see anything particularly unusual about what it is doing.  Do you?
