This is the same problem that was detected on PowerPC here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00996.html

Unfortunately that patch, while approved, never got committed.  It still
seems to be the better solution, since now there's two basically identical
routines write_inferior_data_ptr and write_inferior_data_pointer for no
particular reason ...

Bye,
Ulrich
