Test in gdb.base/wchar.exp expects 0xa2 being unprintable.

set cent "\\\\242"
gdb_test "print repeat" "= L\"A\", '$cent' <repeats 21 times>, \"B.*"

but it is printable on mingw and causes several fails in wchar.exp. At
the beginning, I think this is caused by locale but the experiment later
shows that setting locale doesn't change anything (the subject becomes
misleading).

I should change the subject to "Different output affected by host", and
probably go back to use the patch to relax the pattern to

set cent "(\\\\242|\u00A2)"
