Description Ben Morrow 2011-09-23 03:50:03 UTC 
Currently gdb on amd64 has no support for hardware watchpoints. Since
the hardware does actually support them, this is a little irritating.

Fix: The attached patch adds support.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Set a watchpoint in gdb72 on amd64. It will be a software watchpoint,
and the program being debugged will run extremely slowly.

Hi Ben,
unfortunately, the patch doesn't correctly apply, because in the
meanwhile the gdb version is updated and patch-gdb-Makefile.in is
changed.
Could you recreate the patch using the new port version?
