Hi,

When building gdb using CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS+=-fsanitizer=address and
LDFLAGS+=-lasan, and running test-case gdb.threads/attach-slow-waitpid.exp,
we get:
...
spawn gdb -nw -nx -data-directory data-directory^M
==16079==ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list; \
  you should either link runtime to your application or manually preload \
  it with LD_PRELOAD.^M
ERROR: (eof) GDB never initialized.
ERROR: : spawn id exp10 not open
    while executing
"expect {
-i exp10 -timeout 120
        -re "Kill the program being debugged. .y or n. $" {
            send_gdb "y\n" answer

    ("uplevel" body line 1)

ERROR: Couldn't load attach-slow-waitpid into GDB (eof).
ERROR: Couldn't send attach 16070 to GDB.
UNRESOLVED: gdb.threads/attach-slow-waitpid.exp: attach to target
...

Bail out at the first ERROR, such that we have instead:
...
ERROR: (eof) GDB never initialized.
UNTESTED: gdb.threads/attach-slow-waitpid.exp: \
  Couldn't start GDB with preloaded lib
...

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Committed to trunk.

Thanks,
- Tom
