Blech. That's how I originally had it.
The original code used printf and sleep and I figured someone would
want to keep them.
I don't have a preference for either way. Anyone else?
In any case we need to document that one cannot call libc functions
(or similar) as is.

Yeah.

* gdb.reverse/shr.h: New file.
* gdb.reverse/shr1.c: New file.
* gdb.reverse/shr2.c: #include "shr.h".
* gdb.reverse/solib-reverse.c: Remove #include <stdio.h>.
#include "shr.h". Replace calls to printf,sleep to call shr1 instead.
* gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp: Build shr2.sl.
Update tests using sleep/printf to use shr2.sl instead.
* gdb.reverse/solib-reverse.exp: Ditt.o
