Hmmm, that's kind of high, even for an initial port. Is it mainly that
shared library bits are missing, or something else?

My natural inclination is to accept the code into the trunk after review
- I suspect that the next round of changes will be more invasive into
the rest of GDB, and it would be easier to consider each of those
separately from the basic port. But, I have a track record of being too
optimistic on this strategy, ahem. :-) What do other people think?
