I mentioned this both in my original posting and in the test case itself.  There 
is a test for hardware watchpoints and if there are no hardware watchpoints, it 
returns 0.

# This test verifies that a watchpoint is detected in the proper thread
# so the test is only meaningful on a system with hardware watchpoints.
if [target_info exists gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints] {
     return 0;
}

Don't know of any myself, but I will be happy to add tests for such platforms if 
somebody points them out.
