Um, the fr30 was just recently announced as a brand-new target
for GCC 3.0, which is the current release of GCC.  Although the
tech world does move quickly :-), it's a bit much for GDB to obsolete
a target that was just introduced in GCC.

I understand the motivation of trying to get things converted to
multi-arch, but things should be declared obsolete because the
chip is dead or because there are no users, not because there are
no volunteers to change the code in a way you'd like it to be
changed.  The usual practice in GCC has been for someone to take
a deep breath and then do a mass change of the sources; if you
look at the GCC Changelog for the past year, you'll see some
major updates that not only involved all the obscure targets, but
were tested on them as well.
