[gdb/testsuite] Convert multi-line function call into single line.
After this clang backend patch(https://reviews.llvm.org/D91734), 8 test points started to FAIL in this test case. As mentioned in this PR, "...this test is trying to next over a function call; gcc attributes all parameter evaluation to the function name, while clang will attribute each parameter to its own location. And when the parameters span across multiple source lines, the is_stmt heuristic kicks in, so we stop on each line with actual parameters...". gdb.base/foll-exec.c test file snippet : . . . 42 execlp (prog, /* tbreak-execlp */ 43 prog, 44 "execlp arg1 from foll-exec", 45 (char *) 0); 46 47 printf ("foll-exec is about to execl(execd-prog)...\n"); . . .

FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step through execlp call FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step after execlp call FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print execd-program/global_i (after execlp) FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print execd-program/local_j (after execlp) FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print follow-exec/local_k (after execlp) FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step through execl call FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step after execl call FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print execd-program/local_j (after execl) As we can note, reason for these new test failures is due to additional .debug_line entries getting created in case of clang compiler, hence to fix this issue, test case required either additional next command during these multi-line function call or combine these multi-line function call into single line. This PR has taken the latter approach and converted the multi-line function call into single line in foll-exec.c, thereby there is no change in .debug_line entries now and test case works as expected.
