I'm basically happy with the gdb_ptrace.h bit.  You could apply some
of the advice about avoiding unecessary casts to rs600-nat.c and
aix-thread.c, but I don't really care about the code in there.

Still some nits:

Needs a space between on the last line between 'ptrace' and '(' (but
not on the line before that.
