Hi, is possible to check these 2 patches into 7.8 branch? https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=aebf9d247e4026189a0f612ee03c19cdf4bf86ac https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=572f65559b461133292118cee522b7e437714a07 These patches solve several unexpected failures from gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp in ppc64 servers and s390/s390x due to inappropriate handling on targets that don't support hw break/watchpoints.
