- Subject: [RFA] rs6000-tdep.c: figure out e500 machine from bfd.
A powerpc executable doesn't have indications of which variant it is
meant to run on. The design choice was that in theory everything
should run on any version of the processor. For gdb's purposes we
have now a new section that is specific to e500, which can help us
identify the executable and set all the architecture dependents bits
in the correct way.

* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_gdbarch_init): Figure out whether we have
an e500 executable.
