Yes, please push.

[1] Funny, it passes for me (with the fix for stopping at captured_main),
because the pattern below the one you're touching matches:

	-re "Starting program.*Breakpoint \[0-9\]+,.* at .*main.c:.*$function.*$gdb_prompt $" {
	    # $function may be inlined, so the program stops at the line
	    # calling $function.
	    pass "$description"
	}

and it only happens to match because captured_main calls
captured_main_1 first thing, which coincidentally
matches "$function.*":

 Breakpoint 1, captured_main (data=<optimized out>) at gdb/binutils-gdb/src/gdb/main.c:1147
 1147      captured_main_1 (context);

That would probably be better "$function .*", with a space, but I 
think that even better, we should try removing the "may be inlined" case
too now, because since ddfe970e6bec ("Don't elide all inlined frames") GDB
presents the stop at the inline function instead of at the caller.
Like below.  Comments?
