patch: fixed failures in break.exp


Three breakages in break.exp:
FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: break main #1
FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: break main #2
FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: clear main

The test themselves are not the problem, rather it is the unexpect
behavior of the 'finish' test that precedes them. I moved the three
above to a spot earlier in the file and they passed.

'finish' does not behave as the test expects it to, even though the test
is written so it won't notice.  'finish' finds the __libc_start_main
frame, but the test expects the main() to frame to be the outermost
frame.  I don't know what the desired behavior actually is, so I'm not
sure where to go from here.

from gdb.log:

finish 
Run till exit from #0  main (argc=1, argv=0xbfffebe4, envp=0xbfffebec) at ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c:75

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/break.exp: finish from outermost frame disallowed
break main 
"main" is not a function 
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: break main #1

"main" is not a function 
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: break main #2
clear main

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: clear main


here is the patch that removed these three failures, but does nothing
about the unreported failure of the finish test, which might not actually 
be a failure:
