How is it uglier than i386gnu-nat.c?
I want either i386-linux-nat.c and i386-linux-tdep.c or
i386linux-nat.c and i386linux-tdep.c, but *not* a mixture of those.
If I ever see the need for target dependent code for the Hurd/i386 it
will end up in i386gnu-tdep.c (which isn't 8.3 unique either).

What would you suggest for a non-buggy Tar program to do, exactly?
Simply overwrite the files, possibly asking confirmation from the
user. This shouldn't be a problem, since the DJGPP native port
doesn't need i386-linux-nat.c nor i386-linux-tdep.c.
