[From your first message]

   I'd really rather not (the other BSD's don't have the XMM functionality,
   for example), but I'll take a look to see if it's really feasible.

My secret agenda of course is that when FreeBSD gets XMM
functionality, GDB will already have the support for it :-).

Likewise, when NetBSD implements support for the debug registers
(which FreeBSD already has), the support will already be there!

   Note, i386nbsd-nat.c is still going to be necessary, since NetBSD uses
   different core files than the others.

Sure!

   Alright, I did this; it wasn't quite as nasty as I thought it'd be.

Well, I tried hard to write i386bsd.c such that it could be used on
all BSD's :-).

   OK to commit?

Yes please!

Thanks,

Mark
