Subject: [patch] Fix gdb.fortran/common-block.exp crash in PIE mode

Hi Tom,

runtest F90_FOR_TARGET="gfortran -fPIE -pie" gdb.fortran/common-block.exp

crashes GDB as function relocate_one_symbol
	if ((SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) == LOC_LABEL
	     || SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) == LOC_STATIC)
	    && SYMBOL_SECTION (sym) >= 0)
	  SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS (sym) += ANOFFSET (delta, SYMBOL_SECTION (sym));
corrupts SYMBOL_VALUE_COMMON_BLOCK
	struct common_block *common_block;
as it thinks it can update it like SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS
	CORE_ADDR address;
due to its LOC_STATIC.

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora18-linux-gnu and in PIE mode.


Thanks,
Jan

	Fix gdb.fortran/common-block.exp crash in PIE mode.
	* dwarf2read.c (new_symbol_full) <DW_TAG_common_block>: Use
	LOC_COMMON_BLOCK.
	* f-valprint.c (info_common_command_for_block): Expect
	LOC_COMMON_BLOCK in gdb_assert.
	* symtab.h (struct general_symbol_info): Update comment for the
	common_block member.
	(domain_enum): Extend comment for the COMMON_BLOCK_DOMAIN member.
	(enum address_class): New member LOC_COMMON_BLOCK.
