[binutils-gdb] Build gdb.opt/inline-*.exp tests at -O0, rely on __attribute__((always_inline))


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT 1f960ced9a3e4aa0823dcc234d9de49aebaee055 ***

Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Branch: master
Commit: 1f960ced9a3e4aa0823dcc234d9de49aebaee055

Build gdb.opt/inline-*.exp tests at -O0, rely on __attribute__((always_inline))

A test recently added to gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp fails for
arm-none-eabi targets because -O2 leads to instructions to be
reordered widely.

I guess it might have made sense years ago to enable optimization in
these tests, but I fail to see the need for that nowadays.

Using -O0 while relying on __attribute__((always_inline)), which is
already used in the tests [1] [2], avoids this sort of trouble, while
still exercising the inlining-related use cases that are the focus of
these tests.

I think that nowadays we can safely assume that all compilers we care
about support __attribute__((always_inline)) or similar.

[1] - Except one spot that missed it.

[2] - Note that the .exp files make sure the frames that should have
      been inlined are indeed inlined, with "info frame".
