Pedro Alves fcc8fb2f3d Fix gdb.gdb/ selftest tests when testing optimized GDB builds
After commit bf4692711232 ("Eliminate catch_errors"), GCC started
inlining captured_command_loop in captured_main.  And setting a
breakpoint on captured_command_loop makes the inferior GDB stop in
captured_main, _after_ captured_command_loop's call to
interp_pre_command_loop, which prints the inferior GDB's prompt, has
already executed, confusing the gdb.gdb/ selftest tests:

  (gdb) FAIL: gdb.gdb/complaints.exp: run until breakpoint at captured_command_loop
  WARNING: Couldn't test self

Debugging GDB with GDB manually, we see:

  (top-gdb) b captured_command_loop
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x71ee60: file src/gdb/main.c, line 324.
  (top-gdb) r
  [....]
  (gdb)                  <<<<<< PROMPT HERE
  Thread 1 "gdb" hit Breakpoint 1, captured_main (data=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/main.c:1147
  1147              captured_command_loop ();
  (top-gdb)

Note the stop at 'captured_main', and the "PROMPT HERE" line.  That
prompt does not show up when debugging a non-optimized build of GDB.

Fix this by preventing inlining of captured_command_loop.

		   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.
