    [gdb/testsuite] Use prototype to call libc functions
    
    On openSUSE Tumbleweed (using glibc 2.36), I run into:
    ...
    (gdb) print /d (int) munmap (4198400, 4096)^M
    Invalid cast.^M
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-main-file-remove-fail.exp: cmdline: \
      get integer valueof "(int) munmap (4198400, 4096)"
    ...
    
    The problem is that after starting the executable, the symbol has type
    "void (*) (void)":
    ...
    (gdb) p munmap
    $1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x401030 <munmap@plt>
    (gdb) start
      ...
    (gdb) p munmap
    $2 = {void (void)} 0x7ffff7feb9a0 <__GI_munmap>
    ...
    which causes the "Invalid cast" error.
    
    Looking at the debug info for glibc for symbol __GI_munmap:
    ...
     <0><189683>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
        <189691>   DW_AT_name        : ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S
        <189699>   DW_AT_producer    : GNU AS 2.39.0
    <1><1896ae>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
        <1896af>   DW_AT_name        : __GI___munmap
        <1896b3>   DW_AT_external    : 1
        <1896b4>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0x10cad0
        <1896bc>   DW_AT_high_pc     : 37
    ...
    that's probably caused by this bit (or similar bits for other munmap aliases).
    
    This is fixed in gas on trunk by commit 5578fbf672e ("GAS: Add a return type
    tag to DWARF DIEs generated for function symbols").
    
    Work around this (for say gas 2.39) by explicitly specifying the prototype for
    munmap.
    
    Likewise for getpid in a couple of other test-cases.
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux.
