Specifically, the "trouble finding djgpp bits" I'm referring to
happened after you pointed me that djgpp needed a tweak too:

 https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00538.html

At first, I didn't see a tdep file and so I thought that I'd have
to add one, and maybe come up with a djgpp arch sniffer.  It took
me a few minutes to realize that we already have go32-specific
tdep bits in the generic i386 file.  So that's my only
motivation -- exactly to make it easier to spot the djgpp bits
quicker.  There's no other rationale behind this.  If I'll have to
go do more things to other ports to get this in, I'm afraid I'll
just drop the patch, because _I_ will have learned about them and
know next time where to look.

Thanks,
