Currently, jit_inferior_created_hook -> jit_inferior_init is only
called when the inferior execs...

Grepping around, I think that might have been
the fix for PR gdb/13431 (03bef283c2d3):
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-02/msg00023.html
which removed the inferior_created (jit_inferior_created_observer).

Adding an inferior_created observer back likely fixes the issue.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
