[gdb] Fix internal-error in process_event_stop_test
The function create_exception_master_breakpoint in gdb/breakpoint.c attempts
to set a master exception breakpoint in each objfile. It tries this using
a libgcc/unwind probe, and if that fails then using the
_Unwind_DebugHook symbol:
...
for (objfile *objfile : current_program_space->objfiles ())
{
/* Try using probes. */
if (/* successful */)
continue;
/* Try using _Unwind_DebugHook */
}
...
The preference scheme works ok both if the objfile has debug info, and if it's
stripped.
But it doesn't work when the objfile has a .gnu_debuglink to a .debug file
(and the .debug file is present). What happens is that:
- we first encounter objfile libgcc.debug
- we try using probes, and this fails
- so we try _Unwind_DebugHook, which succeeds
- next we encounter objfile libgcc
- we try using probes, and this succeeds.
So, we end up with a master exception breakpoint in both libgcc (using probes)
and libgcc.debug (using _Unwind_DebugHook).
This eventually causes:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/nextoverthrow.exp: post-check - next over a throw 3

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,^M
further debugging may prove unreliable.^M
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.cp/nextoverthrow.exp: next

...
To trigger this internal-error, we need to use gcc-10 or later to compile the
test-case, such that it contains the fix for gcc PR97774 - "Incorrect line
info for try/catch".
Fix this by only trying to install the master exception breakpoint in
libgcc.debug using the _Unwind_DebugHook method, if the install using probes
in libgcc failed.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
