I build gdb with gcc 7.5.0 and -O2 -flto -flto-partition=one, and ran into timeouts in gdb.gdb/*.exp.

The master branch has been updated by Tom de Vries <vries@sourceware.org>: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=8d83f51b91072bc3d79061eba7e564ba9be6afd7 commit 8d83f51b91072bc3d79061eba7e564ba9be6afd7 Author: Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> Date: Mon Aug 28 16:27:58 2023 +0200 [gdb/symtab] Handle self-reference in inherit_abstract_dies Building gdb with gcc 7.5.0 and -flto -O2 -flto-partition=one generates a self-referencing DIE: ... <2><91dace>: Abbrev Number: 405 (DW_TAG_label) <91dad0> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x91dace> ... When encountering the self-reference DIE in inherit_abstract_dies we loop following the abstract origin, effectively hanging gdb. Fix this by handling self-referencing DIEs in the loop in inherit_abstract_dies. Tested on x86_64-linux.
