ppc64le loses control when stepping between two PLT-called functions inside
a shared library:
29 shlib_second (); /* first-hit */^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/solib-intra-step.exp: first-hit
step^M
^M
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.^M
0x00003fffb7cbe578 in __GI_raise (sig=<optimized out>) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56^M
56 return INLINE_SYSCALL (tgkill, 3, pid, selftid, sig);^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/solib-intra-step.exp: second-hit

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/solib-intra-step.exp: first-hit

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/solib-intra-step.exp: second-hit
This is because gdbarch_skip_trampoline_code() will resolve the final function
as shlib_second+0 and place there the breakpoint, but ld.so will jump after
the breakpoint - at shlib_second+8 - as it is ELFv2 local symbol optimization:
Dump of assembler code for function shlib_second:
0x0000000000000804 <+0>: addis r2,r12,2
0x0000000000000808 <+4>: addi r2,r2,30668
0x000000000000080c <+8>: mflr r0
Currently gdbarch_skip_entrypoint() has been called in skip_prologue_sal() and
fill_in_stop_func() but that is not enough. I believe
gdbarch_skip_entrypoint() should be called after every
gdbarch_skip_trampoline_code().
