[PATCH v5 2/2] gdb: Keep original IFUNC return type when target type is unknown
Muhammad Kamran <[email protected]>

When find_function_addr resolves a GNU IFUNC, it tries to replace the
original function type with the resolved target type, or with the type
returned by the resolver. If neither source provides a useful return
type, keep the return type from the original function value.
This matters for internal inferior calls such as
find_function_in_inferior ("malloc"), where GDB creates a synthetic
function type with a known fallback return type.
Remove the guard from the IFUNC inferior-call test so the no-debug
resolver/no-debug target variants are tested too.
