Hi Pedro,

a second major issue with Cell multi-arch debugging right now is related
to the new target-side SW breakpoint handling.  Cell uses linux-nat as
primary target for the PowerPC side, which now returns true from the
to_supports_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint hook.

This works fine for the PowerPC side.  However, when a breakpoint on the
SPU side is hit, the kernel does *not* provide a siginfo with TRAP_BRKPT,
but instead simply delivers a SIGTRAP without siginfo.  The linux-nat
target therefore does not recognize the breakpoint and does decrement
the PC; this completely throws off infrun, which expects the target to
have done this.

The attached patch fixes this in the spu-multiarch target by overriding
to_wait as well as to to_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint, and handles the SPU
case there.  This does seem to fix the problem for me.

Does this look reasonable to you, or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Ulrich
