Ok, we'll look into it.

It doesn't depend on the target at all. It does rely on the GCC plugin
using the same .def file -- in fact we should probably add a handshake
at the start so that we don't wind up with a version mismatch there.
The plugin is of course exposed to GCC internals changes as all plugins
are; but this is why we think it should be part of GCC.

gdb extracts some information from the debuginfo.
Some information is provided by a new gdbarch method; for example this
is where -m32 / -m64 / -m31 (hi S390) come from.
I am not sure if we can get the proper $(target_noncanonical) for a
given gdbarch. We'll look into it.
