We don't have to update the .exp file because the entire larx/stcx
appears as a single stepi, regardless of what we put inside it. I added
the duplicate labels to test the duplicate branch detection in the
previous patch:

+      /* Check for duplicated breakpoints.  */
+      for (index2 = 0; index2 < index; index2++)

The gdb single step code has always handled this but since I was
shifting code around I figured it was a good idea to test it.

Anton
