[Bug sim/11656] New: cannot assign MI variables when using simulator target

["barre at irit dot fr" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

when trying to execute sparc code using a crosscompiled gdb (launched with MI
interpreter) and tsim (a sparc simulator) on a x86, both tools downloaded from
gaisler.com (specific for the leon processor which I target), I cannot assign
values to variable objects created just before to hold register values (except
for $g0's variable) and this is the response: ^error,msg="mi_cmd_var_assign:
Could not assign expression to varible object".
I had also a similar trouble several months ago with a crosscompiled
gdb(launched with MI) for ppc-linux (I can't remember the version, something
like 6.6-6.8) and the default ppc simulator of gdb. That time the same issue
occurred as soon as I tried to read the sp (or r1) via a variable, I had the
same error and any further variable access (read or write) leaded also to an error
