Re: ELF freebsd support put into elf32-i386.c?

No.  Try to avoid duplicating code.  Put your bfd_target in
elf32-i386.c, and target specific code in another file when/if it
grows large.  I imagine that most of the x86 functions will not need
changing for your target.

It was removed because multiple copies of elf32-i386.c code appeared
in an exe when multiple x86 targets were selected.
