Pedro Alves b477a5e649 Teach the testsuite that GDBserver reliably reports program exits.
Running catch-syscall.exp against a gdbserver that actually supports
it, we get:

 FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)
 FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)
 FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)
 FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit at catch syscall with unused syscall (mlock) (the program exited)
 FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)

The fail pattern is:

 Catchpoint 2 (call to syscall exit_group), 0x000000323d4baa29 in _exit () from /lib64/libc.so.6
 (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: program has called exit_group
 delete breakpoints
 Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y
 (gdb) info breakpoints
 No breakpoints or watchpoints.
 (gdb) break exit
 Breakpoint 3 at 0x323d438bf0
 (gdb) continue
 Continuing.
 [Inferior 1 (process 21081) exited normally]

That "break exit" + "continue" comes from:

> # gdb_continue_to_end:
> #	The case where the target uses stubs has to be handled specially. If a
> #       stub is used, we set a breakpoint at exit because we cannot rely on
> #       exit() behavior of a remote target.
> #

The native-gdbserver.exp board, used to test against gdbserver in
"target remote" mode, triggers that case ($use_gdb_stub is true).  So
gdb_continue_to_end doesn't work for catch-syscall.exp as here we
catch the exit_group and continue from that, expecting to see a real
program exit.  I was about to post a patch that changes
catch-syscall.exp to call a new function that just always does what
gdb_continue_to_end does in the !$use_gdb_stub case.  But, since
GDBserver doesn't really need this, in the end I thought it better to
teach the testsuite that there are stubs that know how to report
program exits, by adding a new "exit_is_reliable" board variable that
then gdb_continue_to_end checks.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
