This test assumes the typeid symbols are always available before
actually starting the inferior, which is not true for architectures that
place such symbols under relocatable sections.
The following patch fixes this by conditionalizing the execution of such
tests on the accessibility of the typeid symbols before the inferior is
running.
Regression-tested on ppc32/64.
Ok?
ps: A -w version of the patch is also attached.

* gdb.cp/typeid.exp (do_typeid_tests): Do not test type id printing
unless the symbols are available.
