commit 961f41602529c9cd4f88af6c02fb61fb55100e27

    Do not consider reference types as dynamic
    
    Even when referenced types are dynamic, the corresponding referencing
    type should not be considered as dynamic: it's only a pointer.  This
    prevents reference type for values not in memory to be resolved.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdbtypes.c (is_dynamic_type_internal): Remove special handling
    	of TYPE_CODE_REF types so that they are not considered as
    	dynamic depending on the referenced type.
    	(resolve_dynamic_type_internal): Likewise.
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.ada/funcall_ref.exp: New file.
    	* gdb.ada/funcall_ref/foo.adb: New file.
