When running big endian machines there is a problem with
the enabled flag for tracepoints as it is defined as a
int8_t but written from gdbserver as an integer and then
read in the agent as 8-bit value.
This caused problem when tracepoint was disabled and
re-enabled.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* tracepoint.c (struct tracepoint): Change type of enabled.

Seems wasteful for no obvious reason.  Why not make gdbserver write
one byte then?

Thanks,

I guess this was the easy fix... I will change the write instead.

thanks,
