It's been set since spu-tdep.c was committed upstream, and in
fact it's set in every single version in our internal repositories
of the code before it went upstream, too. (Going back over 10 years.)
But I don't know why it was added either, since SPU has been using
software single-step forever too, and even the very first version of
GDB we patched to support SPU would ignore cannot_step_breakpoint
for software single-step architectures ...
So I'd say just go ahead and remove it.
Bye,
Ulrich
