I see the following two fails on arm-none-eabi target, because argv[0]
isn't available.
print argv[0]^M
$1 = 0x1f78 "/dev/null"^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/argv0-symlink.exp: kept file symbolic link name
print argv[0]^M
$1 = 0x1f78 "/dev/null"^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/argv0-symlink.exp: kept directory symbolic link name
My first thought is to check [target_info exists noargs], and skip the
test if it returns true. However, noargs is set in gdbserver board
files, so argv0-symlink.exp will be skipped on gdbserver board file.
The change is too aggressive.
When the program is running with gdbserver, argv[1] to argv[N] aren't
available, but argv[0] is. Fortunately, argv0-symlink.exp only
requires argv[0]. argv0-symlink.exp can be run with gdbserver board
file, as what we do now.
What we need to check is whether argv[0] is available, so I add a new
proc gdb_has_argv0 to do so by starting a program, and check
argc/argv[0] to see whether argv[0] is available.
Dan fixed the similar problem by checking noargs, which is too strong.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-02/msg00398.html as a
result, the test is skipped on gdbserver. This patch fixed it too.

* gdb.base/argv0-symlink.exp: Check argv[0] value if
gdb_has_argv0 return true.
* gdb.guile/scm-value.exp (test_value_in_inferior): Don't

instead.

I see the following fails on arm-none-eabi target,
print sn^M
$14 = 0x0 <_ftext>^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-value.exp: print sn
print sn^M
$14 = 0x0 <_ftext>^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.guile/scm-value.exp: print sn
as <_ftext> is unexpected. This patch is to set print symbol off to
avoid printing this.

I find some gdb.python tests fail on arm-none-eabi target, because the
tests assume that memory on address 0x is inaccessible. Some tests
(in gdb.base) are aware of this, so do a "x 0" check first. However,
the code is copy-n-paste.
This patch is to move the "x 0" check to a procedure in lib/gdb.exp,
and get needed tests call it. The original code matches pattern
"0x0:\[ \t\]*Error accessing memory address 0x0\r\n$gdb_prompt $", but
I remove it from the new proc is_address_zero_readable, because GDB
doesn't emit such message any more.
