Greetings,
Gcc-4.3.1 optimizes the whole thing away:
(gdb) disas main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x0000000000400340 <main+0>: mov $0x16,%eax
0x0000000000400345 <main+5>: retq
End of assembler dump.
Attached patch disables inlining.
The -O2 flag was added here:

* gdb.base/mips_pro.exp: Create mips_pro.ci to get gcc_compiled
defined, and use it to compile the test case with -O2. The
native compilation still uses no optimization.
I could not find *why* optimization is necessary for that test case,
so don't know if disabling inlining is the correct fix :(

*gdb.base/mips_pro.exp: compile with gcc -fno-inline,
lest gcc-4.3.1 optimizes the whole thing away.
