I've integrated your comments; I can push the patch in attachment

This won't fail; the following tests ("breakmain" and "info break")
will fail though. Calling breakmain would make an unfixed GDB wait for
an additional "end" command, causing a timeout.

I've added an additional call to "end" after "breakmain, to avoid
polluting the other tests in define.exp (otherwise they would time out
one after the other).

Thanks,
Jerome
