This means that GDB supports a.out, coff, and ecoff.  4 and 5 are
xcoff and ELF.

Earlier versions of GDB always included ELF support.  New versions
only include ELF support if they detect ELF support in BFD, by
compiling a program which uses bfd_get_elf_phdr_upper_bound (see
gdb/configure.ac).  So is this function missing from BFD
for xc16x?  If so how?  It looks to me like it should be there.
