[PATCH] Make *-netbsd mean ELF rather than a.out for all CPU archs

One problem with that - the NS32K target.  As far as I can see this target
only supports aout format NetBSD, not ELF...

Possibly NS32K support in NetBSD is entirely deprecated.  If so, then we
can add the ns32k-netbsd target to the obsolete list.  But I would like
to have you confirm this first.

Typo.  The new line should be:

   +   if { [istarget *-*-netbsdaout*] } {

Ie with a closing square parenthesis.

A patch with the typo corrected and NS32K added to the obsolete list in config.bfd
is approved, provided that you can confirm that the NS32K is no longer supported.

Cheers
