I don't know; theoretically, GDB should remove all the watchpoints from 
the debuggee on the way to exit.  If all watchpoints are removed, the 
dr_* variables are cleaned up automatically.

But an explicit call to i386_cleanup_dregs when the debuggee dies cannot 
possibly do any harm, so there should be no reason not to do that, if it 
is sometimes needed.
