On ppc64le-linux, with gcc 7.5.0 and an O0 gdb build, I get:
...
(gdb) run ...
  ...
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=12, argv=0x7fffffffea78) at .../gdb.c:30^M
30        gdb_assert (is_main_thread ());^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp: run until breakpoint at main
...

But with an O2 gdb build, I run into:
...
(gdb) run ...
  ...
Breakpoint 1, 0x000000001003b438 in main (argc=12, argv=0x7fffffffea78) at \
  /space/vries/gdb/src/gdb/gdb.c:25
25      {
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp: run until breakpoint at main
...

The breakpoint is indeed set at address 0x1003b438:
...
(gdb) break main^M
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1003b438: file /space/vries/gdb/src/gdb/gdb.c, line 25.^M
...
which is the local entry point:
...
(gdb) disassemble main
Dump of assembler code for function main(int, char**):
   0x000000001003b430 <+0>:	lis     r2,4606
   0x000000001003b434 <+4>:	addi    r2,r2,28416
   0x000000001003b438 <+8>:	mflr    r0
...

And indeed, at that address, there's no "recommended breakpoint location":
...
gdb.c:
File name                Line number    Starting address    View    Stmt
gdb.c                             25          0x1003b430               x
gdb.c                             30          0x1003b454               x
gdb.c                             37          0x1003b464               x
...

So gdb behaves as expected.

Fix this by updating the pass regexp to allow this type of gdb output.

This fixes both test-case gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp and gdb.gdb/selftest.exp.
