[gdb/testsuite] Fail in gdb_compile if nopie results in PIE executable
When running gdb.base/dump.exp with --target_board=unix/-fPIE/-pie, we get: ... Running gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dump.exp ... FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: dump array as value, intel hex ... The FAIL happens because although the test specifies nopie, the exec is in fact compiled as PIE. The "-fPIE -pie" options specified using the target_board are interpreted by dejagnu as multilib_flags, and end up overriding the nopie flags. Fix this by checking in gdb_compile if the resulting exec is PIE despite of a nopie setting, and if so return an error: ... Running gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dump.exp ... gdb compile failed, nopie failed to prevent PIE executable === gdb Summary === nr of untested testcases 1 ... Tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-07-30 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> PR testsuite/24834 * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Fail if nopie results in PIE executable. (exec_is_pie): New proc.
