Watchpoints broken in HEAD

Watchpoints broken in HEAD

[Andreas Schwab]

Support for hardware watchpoints on ia64 is currently broken.  gdb is just
reporting SIGTRAP when the watchpoint triggers.

$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int i;

int
main (void)
{
  printf ("Hello world\n");
  i = 1;
  return 0;
}
$ gdb hello

I wonder if this is a generic problem -- I also started seeing this on
hpux recently. i thought it used to work, but i only started paying more
attention to hpux recently.
