Thanks.

I think that's good enough.  One would hope that whoever still uses
this target tests it routinely.

Interesting.  Time to garbage collect them, then.

Can you add i18n/_(), while at it?

Don't use asprintf, use xstrprintf instead.  (The ARI would complain).
But, this is just concatenating the strings, so:

 fmt = concat (_("Ending remote MIPS debugging: "),
	       string, (char *) NULL);
 make_cleanup (xfree, fmt);

... is even simpler.  concat never returns NULL.

OK with that change.
