I just noticed another problem with this.  The new elf32-arm-nbsd
target doesn't grok our ELF core files, because they're dumped with
EI_OSABI == 0 (the kernel doesn't really know any better).

Right now, I'm inclined to back out the EI_OSABI == ELFOSABI_NETBSD
change, in light of the pushback from FSF and this gdb lossage.
