Do you have an FSF assignment?   The code needs to be completly 
rewritten to current standards.  Since it is obsolete, the rewrite is 
considered a new port (submit new files, not diffs).  The acceptance 
criteria for a new port are:

- meet GDB's coding standards
- pure multi-arch
- contain no deprecated code
(I'm sure there is something else but I can't remember it)
