[PATCH] [gdb/contrib] Simplify rc usage in cc-with-tweaks.sh

[Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>]

The usage of the rc variable in gdb/contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh follows a
certain pattern:
...
$ egrep '(rc=|\$rc)' gdb/contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh | grep -v cmp_rc
rc=$?
[ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
    rc=$?
    [ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
    rc=${PIPESTATUS[0]}
    [ "$rc" != 0 ] && exit "$rc"
    rc=$?
    [ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
    rc=0
	rc=$?
	[ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
    rc=$?
    [ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
    rc=$?
    [ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
    rc=$?
    [ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
exit "$rc"
...

It is:
- set using 'rc=$?' or 'rc=${PIPESTATUS[0]}', and then
- used in '[ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc'.

The two exceptions are 'rc=0', and 'exit "$rc"'.

Remove the 'rc=0', there's no path reaching it where it's not already 0.

Removing the 'exit "$rc"' changes semantics in a cornercase.

Consider:
...
if true; then
   rc=0
   [ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
fi
exit $rc
...

What happens is:
- the if block is entered
- rc is set to 0
- the test evaluates to 1, so the exit doesn't trigger
- the if returns status of last command (1)
- script exits with 0

If we remove the exit, we have:
- the if block is entered
- rc is set to 0
- the test evaluates to 1, so the exit doesn't trigger
- the if returns status of last command (1)
- script exits with status of last command (1)

Fix this using:
...
-[ $rc != 0 ] && exit $rc
+if [ $rc != 0 ]; then exit $rc; fi
