Tom de Vries 14e9c72c33 [gdb/testsuite] Avoid breakpoint in GLIBC in gdb.threads/execl.exp
When running the gdb.threads/execl.exp test-case, we run into this FAIL:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
^M
Thread 1 "execl" hit Breakpoint 2, __GI_execl (path=0x6024a0 \
  "build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/execl/execl1", \
  arg=<optimized out>) at execl.c:51^M
51        if (execl (new_image, new_image, NULL) == -1) \
  /* set breakpoint here */^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/execl.exp: continue across exec
...
The fail is due to the continue command hitting a breakpoint in __GI_execl
rather than main.

This problem originates from where we execute the "b 51" command, and get two
breakpoint locations:
...
(gdb) run ^M
Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/execl/execl ^M
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]^M
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".^M
^M
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd3f8) at gdb.threads/execl.c:44^M
44        pthread_create (&thread1, NULL, thread_function, NULL);^M
(gdb) b 51^M
Breakpoint 2 at 0x400787: gdb.threads/execl.c:51. (2 locations)^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/execl.exp: set breakpoint at execl
...

Adding a "info breakpoints" command, we can see the locations:
...
(gdb) info breakpoints^M
Num     Type           Disp Enb Address            What^M
1       breakpoint     keep y   0x00000000004006ee in main at \
  gdb.threads/execl.c:44^M
        breakpoint already hit 1 time^M
2       breakpoint     keep y   <MULTIPLE>         ^M
2.1                         y   0x0000000000400787 in main at \
  gdb.threads/execl.c:51^M
2.2                         y   0x00007ffff758d925 in __GI_execl at \
  execl.c:51^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/execl.exp: info breakpoints
...

The fact that the __GI_execl breakpoint location is there, is a bug, filed as
PR25656.  Without debug info for GLIBC though, the bug is not triggered.

Fix the FAIL by working around the bug, and deleting the breakpoint after
hitting the first breakpoint location.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

		   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

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