The code was changed in gdb-4.18 so that some of the low-level routines 
could be shared with the Thumb routines.  Since NetBSD arm/gdb port uses 
tm-armnbsd.h, but that is a clone of tm-arm.h with modifications (rather 
than #including tm-arm.h and fixing up the undesired settings), it failed 
to get this change in the import of the latest release.  This is another 
reason why I'm working on a complete report of gdb, so that this problem 
shouldn't occur again in the future (at least, it shouldn't be as 
fundamental).

We are none of us perfect... :-(
