  Hi,

The gdb.base/info-types.exp test-case FAILs with gcc/g++ 4.8 because the DWARF
record for the 'unsigned int' type is missing in the executables, while it is
present for gcc/g++ 7.4.1.

For a minimal example using gcc 7.4.1:
...
$ echo "enum enum_t { AA, BB, CC }; enum enum_t var;" > enum.c
$ gcc enum.c -c -g
...
we find that the enum type has DW_AT_encoding 'unsigned':
 <1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
    <1e>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
    <22>   DW_AT_encoding    : 7        (unsigned)
    <23>   DW_AT_byte_size   : 4
    <24>   DW_AT_type        : <0x3e>
    <28>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 1
    <29>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 1
    <2a>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0x3e>
...
and a DW_AT_type reference to the type 'unsigned int':
...
 <1><3e>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_base_type)
    <3f>   DW_AT_byte_size   : 4
    <40>   DW_AT_encoding    : 7        (unsigned)
    <41>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x26): unsigned int
...

With gcc 4.8.5 however, we have no 'unsigned' encoding, and no DW_AT_type:
...
 <1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
    <1e>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
    <22>   DW_AT_byte_size   : 4
    <23>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 1
    <24>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 1
    <25>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0x39>
...
as well as no record for 'unsigned int'.

Make the test-case pass with gcc/g++ 4.8 by making the presence of the
'unsigned int' type optional.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Committed to trunk.

Thanks,
- Tom
