[PATCH 2/3] PR remote/19496, interrupted syscall in forking-threads-plus-bkpt

[Don Breazeal <donb at codesourcery dot com>]

This patch addresses "fork:Interrupted system call" (or wait:) failures
in gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp.

The test program spawns ten threads, each of which do ten fork/waitpid
sequences.  The cause of the problem was that when one of the fork
children exited before the corresponding fork parent could initiate its
waitpid for that child, a SIGCHLD was delivered and interrupted a fork
or waitpid in another thread.

The fix was to wrap the system calls in a loop to retry the call if
it was interrupted, like:

do
  {
    pid = fork ();
  }
while (pid == -1 && errno == EINTR);

Since this is a Linux-only test I figure it is OK to use errno and EINTR.

Tested on Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host.

Thanks,
