GDB functionality should not be affected if SP clobber is removed, even if the
generated code is slightly different. Please see this comment:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-12/msg00204.html
As I understand it, this particular code is never meant to return. It should
either stop due to the NX mapping of return_address/%0, or hit the breakpoint
placed at return_address/%0.
