importance or even desirability of some of the items.
+Add an "info bfd" command that displays supported object formats,

START_INFERIOR_TRAPS_EXPECTED need never be defined to 2, since that
is its default value. Clean this up.
Perhaps "i source" should take an argument like that of "list".

E.g. MIPS (mips-xdep.c).
unpack_double() does not handle IEEE float on the target unless the host
to get to that spot by accident. E.g. "n" over execute_command which has
an error.
-Watchpoints seem not entirely reliable, though they haven't failed me recently.

GDB does four ioctl's for every command, probably switching terminal modes
to/from inferior or for readline or something.

Clean up formatting of "info registers" on MIPS and 88k. See if it
is possible to do this generically across all target architectures.
