I don't think so; ac131313 sent me a form to do this, which I CC'd to
the FSF a week ago or so, but I haven't received any reply yet (I will
certainly sign an assignment, but it may take a while to get a copyright
disclaimer from my work).

Yes, so far as I know.

Also, so far there's no standardization of the ptrace PT_TEXT_ADDR &c
macros; I justed added them to the v850 implementation. The m68knommu
target uses hardwired numeric constants for the same functionality, but
hopefully the maintainers will add defines so this implementation will
work on it (gerg? davidm?).
