[3/3] GDB: Add `info main' command
Commit Message
From: Richard Bunt <richard.bunt@linaro.org>
Allow consumers of GDB to extract the name of the main method. This is
most useful for Fortran programs which have a variable main method.
Used by both MAP and DDT e.g. it is used to detect the presence of debug
information.
