I don't understand why we put make_cleanup_restore_integer/do_cleanups
in the same function. Can't we use a temp variable to save/restore the
value of arm_override_mode?

`clean_restart' can do these four above.

I am OK with part, but a question on general handling `failed to
runto_main'. I noticed there are some different policies to handle
that, such as `fail and return', `perror and return', and
'gdb_suppress_tests'. Which on is recommended?
