This means that GDB supports a.out, coff, and ecoff. 4 and 5 are
xcoff and ELF.
Earlier versions of GDB always included ELF support. New versions
only include ELF support if they detect ELF support in BFD, by
compiling a program which uses bfd_get_elf_phdr_upper_bound (see
gdb/configure.ac). So is this function missing from BFD
for xc16x? If so how? It looks to me like it should be there.
