[gdb/build] Use -fno-hoist-adjacent-loads for gcc <= 13
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When building gdb with gcc 12 and -fsanitize=threads while renabling
background dwarf reading by setting dwarf_synchronous to false, I run into:

This was also reported in PR31715.

This is due do gcc PR110799 [1], generating wrong code with
-fhoist-adjacent-loads, and causing a false positive for
-fsanitize=threads.

Work around the gcc PR by forcing -fno-hoist-adjacent-loads for gcc <= 13
and -fsanitize=threads.

Tested in that same configuration on x86_64-linux.  Remaining ThreadSanitizer
problems are the ones reported in PR31626 (gdb.rust/dwindex.exp) and
PR32247 (gdb.trace/basic-libipa.exp).
