A relatively recent patch support for explicit locations, and part
of that patch cleaned up the way we parse breakpoint locations.
Unfortunatly, a small regression crept in for "*<EXPR>" breakpoint
locations. In particular, on PIE programs, one can see the issue by
doing the following, with any program:
(gdb) b *main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x51a: file hello.c, line 3.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/hello
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Just for the record, this regression was introduced by:

Subject: Explicit locations: introduce address locations
What happens is that the patch makes the implicit assumption that
the address computed the first time is static, as if it was designed
to only support litteral expressions (Eg. "*0x1234"). This allows
the shortcut of not re-computing the breakpoint location's address
when re-setting breakpoints.
However, this does not work in general, as demonstrated in the example
above.
This patch plugs that hole simply by saving the original expression
used to compute the address as part of the address location, so as
to then re-evaluate that expression during breakpoint re-set.

"addr_string" and "addr_string_len".

+# location of the form "*<EXPR>" (Eg: "*main"), GDB is able to start
+# the program and stop at the correct location. With programs built

+# symbols have changed after load.
+#
+# PIE is not always supported by the target system, so instead of
+# creating a testcase building executables with PIE, this testcase
+# takes a slightly different approach. It builds a first program,
+# breaks on *main, and then runs to that breakpoint. It then builds
+# a second program, different from the first one, and loads that
+# executable within the same GDB session. Similarly to the PIE case,
+# the address of main should be different, and therefore GDB should
+# recalculate it. We verify that by checking that running to that
+# breakpoint still works, and that we land at the first instruction
+# of that function in both cases.
