Hi guys,

This patch is for bug in http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-01/msg00146.html

This issue is because sometime the inferior is already in function
start address (i.e. plt), set a breakpoint and continue will make
"reverse-next" work error.

This patch make inferior step if it reverse step and stop at the
function start address.
It tested OK with process record patch and testsuite gdb.twreverse in
branch reverse-20081226-branch.

       * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Make inferior step if it
       stepping over a function call in reverse , and stop at the
       start address of the function.

OK for mainline?

Thanks,
Hui
