RFA: callfuncs.c and callfwmall.c


The functions "char *t_structs_a" in gdb/testsuite/callfuncs.c and
callfwmall.c erroneously return a pointer to a local variable. Please
consider the following change.

2001-11-12  Jackie Smith Cashion  <jsmith@redhat.com>

	* gdb.base/callfuncs.c (t_structs_a): Do not return a pointer
	to a local (non-static) variable. Copy tstruct.a to a static buffer
	and return a pointer to that buffer.
	* gdb.base/callfwmall.c (t_structs_a): Ditto.
