|  There is a patched mipsnbsd-nat.c as well as common and i386 specific
|  files, but I did not make the build file changes for that so that file
|  is untested.  I also did not look at any other platforms.  The changes

|  starting point, but since I have no way to test them I did not want to
|  attempt changes for any other targets.

|  Comments appreciated.

Looks good to me.
