Keith,

have a look at breakpoint.c:gdb_breakpoint for a more robust / current 
way of implementing these wrappers.

In particular:

- it uses catch_exceptions() which has better defined return values.

- the wrapped function has the correct function signature (not char *) 
meaning that the (illegal) function cast is not needed.

- it uses a dedicated struct to pass in the parameter list instead of 
relying on casts and a union.

enjoy,
Andrew
