You have parameters given explicit names, rather than formed from
equation names, as -gmm- does not know (and frankly does not care)
whether you have the linear form of your equations or not. So you
would be testing
test [b1]_cons == [c1]_cons
When in doubt, -matrix list e(b)- shows you the names of the coefficients.
