The test case in this situation is to have an entry point in some other
CU -- not the same one with the program's "main" -- and then try to
"break" on the entry point.

I think this should make gdb try to look up the function via the index,
but since the matching will fail, I suspect it won't cause CU expansion,
and so the entry point won't be found.

Yeah, I think I was mistaken about this one.
