I've improved this now. We have a special case for MMU-less targets 
(gdbserver's side), though it is not quite clear due to the lack of 
comments in that code.

I've removed the guards now. gdbserver should be able to run this chunk 
of code and lie about not supporting PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK later on.

I've used your suggestion now.

Moved closer to where it belongs.

I don't think it looks great, but it should do the job for the moment 
while we teach gdbserver to support the other features. Good enough maybe?

Done.

I've replaced these with a configure-time check in configure.ac as 
Tromey hinted at, similar to GDB's. Looks cleaner this way.

Thanks Tom.

Fixed by regenerating the required files.

The identation problem with the mips-linux-watch.c entry bothered me, 
but turns out the inclusion of linux-ptrace.c and linux-waitpid.c isn't 
needed at all. I have a successful build without any change to SFILES.

Probably not. I removed this change now.

I've also included linux-ptrace.o by default in the linux object files 
list (in configure.srv).

All the other small nits are hopefully fixed now as well.

Regression-tested again. Results look good.

Thanks!
