At least for GDB it is OK to use length 1 and IIUC the standard also
implicitly says so.

GDB+GCC use a special notation for calls: Address of the call instruction is
used before stepping in, call-instr-length - 1 address is used when inside the
callee and then normally address of next instruction after the call one when
the callee returns.
