[PATCH] Different outputs affected by locale

[Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>]

We find the following fails in gdb test on mingw host.

FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat_p
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat (print null on)
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat (print elements 3)
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat_p (print elements 3)

print repeat^M
$7 = L"A", '¢' <repeats 21 times>, "B", '\000' <repeats 104 times>^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat

the \242 is expected in the test but cent sign is displayed.

In valprint.c:print_wchar, wchar_printable is called to determine
whether a wchar is printable.  wchar_printable calls iswprint but
the iswprint's return value depends on LC_CTYPE setting of locale [1, 2].
The output may vary with different locale settings.  I noticed that
gdb.exp:gdb_init set LC_CTYPE to C.  If I remove that line, tests
fail on native testing too.

IMO, either \242 or '¢' (cent sign) is a correct output, which is
affect by locale, and it is not related to gdb at all.

This patch is to add code to 'p repeat[1]' to extract the cent first,
and then use it to match in the following tests.

gdb/testsuite:

	* gdb.base/wchar.exp: Execute command 'p repeat[1]' and extract
	cent from the output.
