[binutils-gdb] Read stop_pc after updating the gdbarch when exec'ing

    Read stop_pc after updating the gdbarch when exec'ing
    
    When an inferior execs and changes architecture (e.g. 64 bits to 32
    bits), the gdbarch associated to the inferior is updated by the
    follow_exec call in handle_inferior_event_1.  We should avoid doing any
    register read before that point, because the registers sent by the
    remote side will be those of the new architecture, but we would
    interpret them using the old architecture.  We do just that by setting
    stop_pc during this window, which obviously requires reading the
    registers.  This results in gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp failing, GDB
    outputting the following error:
    
      Truncated register 50 in remote 'g' packet
    
    This patch fixes that by postponing the setting of stop_pc to after
    we've updated the inferior gdbarch.
    
    This bug was hiding another problem, and as such introduces some
    failures in gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp.  The following patch takes care
    of that.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): When exec'ing, read
    	stop_pc after follow_exec.
