[RFC PATCH 1/2] fix implptrpiece.exp test for big endian target

[Victor Kamensky <victor.kamensky@linaro.org>]

Currently on any big endian target implptrpiece.exp test fails
like this:

FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/implptrpiece.exp: print/d p[-1]

(gdb) print/d p[-1]
$1 = 1
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/implptrpiece.exp: print/d p[-1]

Test expects that value of p[-1] should be 0.

This test creates special DWARF construct with DW_OP_GNU_implicit_pointer:

 <1><25c>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_variable)
    <25d>   DW_AT_name        : s
    <25f>   DW_AT_type        : <0x21d>
    <263>   DW_AT_location    : 15 byte block: 8 1 9f 93 2 8 2 9f 93 1 8 3 9f 93 1      (DW_OP_const1u: 1; DW_OP_stack_value; DW_OP_piece: 2; DW_OP_const1u: 2; DW_OP_stack_value
; DW_OP_piece: 1; DW_OP_const1u: 3; DW_OP_stack_value; DW_OP_piece: 1)
 <1><273>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_variable)
    <274>   DW_AT_name        : p
    <276>   DW_AT_type        : <0x256>
    <27a>   DW_AT_location    : 6 byte block: f2 0 0 2 5c 2     (DW_OP_GNU_implicit_pointer: <0x25c> 2)

In description of 's' variable note byte constant value of 1, that
will be used as first piece of size 2 bytes, followed by 1 byte
piece with 2, and 1 byte piece with 3. Variable 'p' is implicit
pointer with offset 2 within 's', i.e it points right in the middle
of s. Test looks at p[-1] and expects to get most significant
byte of short type of value 1, which is 0. But in big
endian case such index points to least significant byte which
is 1. So test fails.

Fix the test by checking endianity of the target and selecting
proper index to get most significant byte of first piece.
