I managed to miss an interaction between the recent *running patch,
and target-async, which resulted in infcalls being completely broken
on GNU/Linux and remote targets (that is, the async-capable targets).
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at threads.c:35
35 long i = 0;
(gdb) p malloc (0)
The program being debugged stopped while in a function called from GDB.
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
(malloc) will be abandoned.
When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.
(gdb) p malloc (0)
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

281 return regcache->aspace;
(top-gdb)
The issue is that when running an infcall, the thread is no longer
marked as running, so run_inferior_call is not calling
wait_for_inferior anymore.
Fix this by doing what the comment actually says we do:
"Do here what `proceed' itself does in sync mode."
And proceed doesn't check whether the target is running.
I notice this is broken in case of the early return in proceed, but we
were broken before in that case anyway, because run_inferior_call will
think the call actually ran. Seems like we should make proceed have a
boolean return, and go through all callers making use of it, if
necessary.
But for now, just fix the regression.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
