Part of PR gdb/13860 is about the mi-solib.exp test's output being
different in sync vs async modes.

For now, let's focus only on the *stopped event. We see that the
async output is missing frame info. And this causes a test failure in
async mode, as "mi_expect_stop solib-event" wants to see the frame
info.
However, if we compare the event output when a real MI execution
command is used, compared to a CLI command (e.g., run vs -exec-run,
next vs -exec-next, etc.), we see:
>./gdb -nx -q ./testsuite/gdb.mi/solib-main -ex "set stop-on-solib-events 1" -ex "set target-async off" -i=mi

As seen above, with MI commands, the *stopped event _doesn't_ have
frame info. This is because normal_stop, as commanded by the result
of bpstat_print, skips printing frame info in this case (it's an
"event", not a "breakpoint"), and when the interpreter is MI,
mi_on_normal_stop skips calling print_stack_frame, as the normal_stop
call was already done with the MI uiout. This explains why the async
output is different even with a CLI command. Its because in async
mode, the mi_on_normal_stop path is always taken; it is always reached
with the MI uiout, because the stop is handled from the event loop,
instead of from within `proceed -> wait_for_inferior -> normal_stop'
with the interpreter overridden, as in sync mode.
This patch fixes the issue by making all cases output the same
*stopped event, by factoring out the print code from normal_stop, and
using it from mi_on_normal_stop as well. I chose the *stopped output
without a frame, mainly because that is what you already get if you
use MI execution commands, the commands frontends are supposed to use
(except when implementing a console). This patch makes it simpler to
tweak the MI output differently if desired, as we only have to change
the centralized print_stop_event (taking into account whether the
uiout is MI-like), and all different modes will change accordingly.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, no regressions. The mi-solib.exp test no
longer fails in async mode with this patch, so the patch removes the
kfail.

README for GNU development tools
This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers,
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.
If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.
It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:
./configure
make
To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
make install
(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)
If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):
CC=gcc ./configure
make
A similar example using csh:
setenv CC gcc
./configure
make
