[patch] Fix breakpoint at *_start


Hi,

(gdb) b *_start
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4002c0
(gdb) r
Starting program:
/home/.../static-executable
Program exited normally.
(gdb) _

Goal of the patch is to prevent setting proceed's ONEPROC.

In some way it makes sense what GDB has been doing so far - program was being
executed by /bin/sh and now it just stopped at address _start.  GDB logic says
it should ignore breakpoints right at the PC address during "continue".

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora12-linux-gnu.

Bugreport has been kept updated by the courtesy of John Reiser since 2005.


Thanks,
Jan
