I submit here a more general fix
that calls breakpoint_re_set function
after the target is pushed in post_create_inferior.
This patch works for go32 target, but
should work for all other native targets that
have no dynamic libraries too.
Is this OK?

* infcmd.c (post_create_inferior): Call breakpoint_re_set after
target
is pushed for watchpoint promotion to hardware watchpoint.
