I looked around for anything saying this, and couldn't find it.
Well -- I found it for target_insert_mask_watchpoint, but not other
cases.
And, at least in breakpoint.c:insert_bp_location, it seems to me that
the return value is expected to be an errno in one case -- search for
safe_strerror.
Maybe this code is in error? I really couldn't say; but it seems
inconsistent at best. Perhaps only parts of your patch could go in
as-is, what do you think?
