Hi Keith,

What do you think of the attached patch? There is also a testcase,
which is slightly different from the scenario that triggered this
exchange, but which also has the advantage of not requiring PIE,
which makes the test a little more universal, I think.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * location.h (new_address_location): Add new parameters
        "addr_string" and "addr_string_len".
        (get_address_string_location): Add declaration.
        * location.c (new_address_location): Add new parameters
        "addr_string" and "addr_string_len".  If not NULL, store
        a copy of the addr_string in the new location as well.
        (get_address_string_location): New function.
        (string_to_event_location): Update call to new_address_location.
        * linespec.c (event_location_to_sals) <ADDRESS_LOCATION>:
        Save the event location in the parser's state before
        passing it to convert_address_location_to_sals.
        * breakpoint.c (create_thread_event_breakpoint): Update call
        to new_address_location.
        (init_breakpoint_sal): Get the event location's string, if any,
        and use it to update call to new_address_location.
        * python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init):
        Update call to new_address_location.
        * spu-tdep.c (spu_catch_start): Likewise.

        * config/djgpp/fnchange.lst: Add entries for
        gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break-fun-addr1.c and
        gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break-fun-addr2.c.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.base/break-fun-addr.exp: New file.
        * gdb.base/break-fun-addr1.c: New file.
        * gdb.base/break-fun-addr2.c: New file.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Thanks!
