I think that we don't really need the "bl->owner->type == bp_dprintf"
check anymore.  persist" carries all the semantics we need here.

Also, this is a boolean, so best write:

    if (bl->target_info.persist)
        continue;

without the "== 1" part.

But ... most importantly.  How do we end up with 'persist' set
on a call-style dprintf, given:

static void
build_target_command_list (struct bp_location *bl)
{
...
  /* For now, limit to agent-style dprintf breakpoints.  */
  if (dprintf_style != dprintf_style_agent)
    return;

I'm confused, as you say the test fails now, but nowhere in the
test are you setting the style to agent.  I think I'm missing
something.  :-)
