[Bug gdb/11745] New: Command 'list main' does not work on AIX

["rick dot stein at aciworldwide dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

The 'list' command for gdb-6.8 compiled for AIX can't find the 'main' function 
of a program.  It reports "No line number known for main"

--- Test Source ---

~/gdb/test
imts1-AIX(1):steinr> cat take5.c
#define ONE_MINUTE 60
main()
{
int minutes = 5;

while(minutes--)
  sleep(ONE_MINUTE);
}

--- Test results for gdb-6.8 ---

However, this works fine for gdb-6.5

(gdb) list main
1       #define ONE_MINUTE 60
2       main()
3       {
4       int minutes = 5;
5
6       while(minutes--)
7         sleep(ONE_MINUTE);
8       }
(gdb)

The above happens on AIX 5.2 and AIX 5.3

I have ported support for COBOL from gdb-5.3 to gdb-6.8.  This port does not 
work on gdb-7.1, so I need the above to work on gdb-6.8.  The above tests were 
run with an unmodified, freshly compiled gdb.  My primary issue is that when I 
use gdb against a COBOL program, I need to be able to list by the COBOL module:

           display foo.
           display bar.
           display baz.

           stop run.

Again the above is for an unmodified, freshly compiled gdb.  The COBOL support 
changes provide the ability to print and display COBOL variables.
