Joel's correct here.

ptrace(), just like printf, "double", or <string.h>, is just another 
host function that can, well at least in theory, be probed by autoconf. 
  I'm just not sure how we can probe the attributes we need: 
FIVE_ARG_PTRACE, PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE, TRACE_XFER_TYPE, ...

PS: nm*.h is also well on its way to the chopping block.  It's contents 
have well and truely been reduced to a bunch of hacks that should be in 
the target/gdbarch vectors and/or autoconf.
