[commit] mep-tdep.c: prologue analyzer update


I've just committed the patch below.  It fixes a gdb.base/break.exp
failure when using a gcc-4.x based compiler.  (See the comment in the
patch for a full explanation.)

	* mep-tdep.c (IS_BRA, BRA_DISP): New macros.
	(mep_analyze_prologue): Add case for BRA instruction.
