Well, "does not exist" is a bit misleading, since there's
https://www.debian.org/ports/netbsd/ . (I had no idea about it,
but google found it...)
However, that page does say:
This porting effort has long been abandoned. It has had no updates since october 2002.
The informations in this page are only for historical purposes.
So it really sounds like we could zap it. Ideally that should be a
separate commit, with a gdb/NEWS entry change, and we'd drop
it everywhere it's mentioned, not just configure.tgt.
"git grep knetbsd" finds hits in bfd and ld too, btw.
GCC dropped support last year, BTW:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-06/msg01370.html
which is another nail in the coffin...
Thanks,
