[Bug translator/4915] imperfect prologue searching heuristics for inlined functions

[fche at redhat dot com]

I'm seeing some debugging info errors for sys_open and sys_access on
2.6.9-55.0.2.EL[smp].  They don't fit quite into the current "trouble cases"
for the prologue searcher (resolve_prologue_endings), in that what seems
to be happening is that a small function without a prologue calls an inlined
friend that does have a real prologue.  The gcc-emitted debugging info appears
to be valid (or at least plausible) for an int parameter, but a char* sibling
is invalid until the inlined prologue of the second function.

I don't know whether it's worth trying to improve the systemtap-side heuristics,
or beat on the old compiler.  Or neither?  Opinions please?
