So how about this text instead:

 If the stub sees @samp{xmlRegisters=} with target specific strings
 separated by a comma, it will send either an XML target description
 or an XML stub that states only the architecture and the OSABI.

I don't know.  The question is, will register_remote_support_xml be
always available fro an i386 target?
