Sorry; I didn't have the time to test this diff until now.
Unfortunately it breaks OpenBSD/i386.  The problem is that
OpenBSD/i386 still uses a core file format that's classified as NetBSD
a.out.  NetBSD doesn't use this format anymore, so I think the
solution is to sacrifice NetBSD/i386 a.out instead of OpenBSD/i386
a.out.
