So it sounds like your low-level target-side support misbehaves in
this case: I386_DR_LOW_GET_STATUS should map into a system call that
returns the contents of the DR6 debug register. If the returned value
says that one of the watched addresses was written to, there's nothing
GDB can do except report that and act accordingly.

Neither do I, but I'm not an expert for your target platform.
