Attached the latest version.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [nto] Improve ABI sniffing.

Use qnx specific notes to figure out the OS.

gdb/ChangeLog:
	* gdb/nto-tdep.c (QNX_NOTE_NAME, QNX_INFO_SECT_NAME): New defines.
	(nto_sniff_abi_note_section): New function.
	(nto_elf_osabi_sniffer): Use new function to recognize nto specific
	binary.
