>Description:
Gdb crashes when calling plain-C function from C++ code.
AFAICT, this is a 6.4 regression (my 6.3 compile works fine).
>How-To-Repeat:
$ cat foo.c
int foo(int x) { return x; }

$ cat main.cpp
int func(int x)
{
   return x;
}

int main()
{
    return func(0);
}
$ /usr/local/gcc-3.4.6/bin/gcc -g -c foo.c
$ /usr/local/gcc-3.4.6/bin/g++ -g  main.cpp foo.o

$ gdb-6.4 -q ./a.out
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
(gdb) b func
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048567: file main.cpp, line 3.
(gdb) r

Breakpoint 1, func (x=0) at main.cpp:3
3          return x;
(gdb) p foo(1)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

##### And now for some debugging:

$ gdb-6.4 -q gdb-6.4 core
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `gdb-6.4 -q ./a.out'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
Reading symbols from /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4...done.

  aux_value = {basereg = -552, ptr = 0x831fdd8}, hash_next = 0x0}

Note that 'foo' has language_c and no demangled_name ...
