FYI It looks like I just found the reason why gdbserver wasn't working
on x86.

Excellent news : I just figured out why gdbserver was failing on CE/x86
where the same code worked for ARM.

The GetThreadContext call looked different between win32-i386-low.c and
its ARM equivalent :

  th->context.ContextFlags = 
    CONTEXT_FULL |
    CONTEXT_FLOATING_POINT |
    CONTEXT_EXTENDED_REGISTERS |
    CONTEXT_DEBUG_REGISTERS;
  GetThreadContext (th->h, &th->context);

On ARM, only CONTEXT_FULL and CONTEXT_FLOATING_POINT were used. The call
on x86 returned error 87 (ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER) but MSDN doesn't
contain clues as to what that means.

I'll try to figure out whether this breaks anything, but at first sight
this small change (and a couple of others I have yet to submit) makes
gdbserver work.
