[RFA] testsuite/gdb.c++/overload.exp: work around "marker() ()" bug

[RFA] testsuite/gdb.c++/overload.exp: work around "marker() ()" bug

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

This is Sunday Project Patch #8.

This patch changes testsuite/gdb.c++/overload.exp to use the library
function 'runto' to reach a marker function.  This simplifies the file,
and it accommodates a bug in gdb when using g++ v3pre.

The bug is PR gdb/34, "g++ v3 functions show as "inheritance2() ()"".
testsuite/gdb.c++/method.exp has one specific test case to detect this
bug, so I want to fix other test scripts so that they don't cascade
fail on this bug.

Before and after results with g++ v3pre:
  before: 3 PASS, 6 FAIL,  0 XPASS, 23 XFAIL
  after:  8 PASS, 1 FAIL, 19 XPASS,  4 XFAIL

I tested this on native Red Hat Linux 7 and native Solaris 2.6 with
gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3pre dated 2001-04-22.

OK to apply?

Sure.  That is the way it should be done.

Thanks for the patch.
