Tom de Vries d264c39e8b [gdb/testsuite] Improve probe detection in gdb.base/break-probes.exp
When running test-case gdb.base/break-probes.exp on ubuntu 18.04.5, we have:
...
 (gdb) run^M
 Starting program: break-probes^M
 Stopped due to shared library event (no libraries added or removed)^M
 (gdb) bt^M
 #0  0x00007ffff7dd6e12 in ?? () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2^M
 #1  0x00007ffff7dedf50 in ?? () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2^M
 #2  0x00007ffff7dd5128 in ?? () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2^M
 #3  0x00007ffff7dd4098 in ?? () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2^M
 #4  0x0000000000000001 in ?? ()^M
 #5  0x00007fffffffdaac in ?? ()^M
 #6  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()^M
 (gdb) UNSUPPORTED: gdb.base/break-probes.exp: probes not present on this system
...

Using the backtrace, the test-case tries to establish that we're stopped in
dl_main, which is used as proof that we're using probes.

However, the backtrace only shows an address, because:
- the dynamic linker contains no minimal symbols and no debug info, and
- gdb is build without --with-separate-debug-dir so it can't find the
  corresponding .debug file, which does contain the mimimal symbols and
  debug info.

Fix this by instead printing the pc and grepping for the value in the
info probes output:
...
(gdb) p /x $pc^M
$1 = 0x7ffff7dd6e12^M
(gdb) info probes^M
Type Provider Name           Where              Object                      ^M
  ...
stap rtld     init_start     0x00007ffff7dd6e12 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ^M
  ...
(gdb)
...

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

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.
