   PS: To give you a headache :-)  Even though a native i386-ibm-aix won't 
   build, there is a good chance that an i386-ibm-aix host will build an 
   i386-ibm-aix cross debugger.  This is correct behavour because a cross 
   debugger should be buildable on any host :-)

Yup.  Except that --target=i386-ibm-aix won't give you exactly a
i386-ibm-aix cross-debuger.  It will give you the same generic i386
cross-debuger as --target=i386-elf or --target=i386-whatever-junk.
Suppose i386-ibm-aix had a rather peculiar ABI that's really
incompatible with the generic i386 ABI.  The resulting GDB would not
be very useful.  Shouldn't we somehow warn against this?
