It's sad that modern graphical e-mail clients get in the way here and
generate all this complicated crap.
Some people using similarly broken mail clients circumvent the problem
by including a diff both inline and as an attachment. While not
ideal, that's an acceptable solution to me.

The i386-tdep.c bits are fine with me. I haven't been following the
dwarf2.h discussion too closely; whatever consensus that's reached
there is fine with me.
