Ah, OK.  That's surprising.  Nice.

I don't know if they were missing from the non FSF MinGW port of gdb,
but I won't go look either.
Sure.  What happened was that now if the exec file wasn't found,
gdb would not see the dlls, since now the target_so_ops are
associated with current_gdbarch.  That's what the PR is about.
Well, the 1/2 part of the patch also fixes that case, so it's OK.
