Only two targets use DECR_PC_AFTER_BREAK - m68k and i386.  Core GDB 
contans all all sorts of convoluted logic for what is a target problem :-(

What would it take to replace DECR_PC_AFTER_BREAK with a read_pc() 
function that determines the stop address from the i386 hardware 
registers and other state information?

(The m68k isn't multi-arch so I can fix that one by deleting it :-^)
