Does this result in any visible improvement? I assume that
at least, "info auxv" now works [1] [2]. It'd be really nice to have a
blurb in the commit log mentioning what motivated this.
[1] - BTW, if you enable gdb.base/auxv.exp on NTO, does it pass?

Drop the "gdb/" in the file paths.

Hmm, where's this "similar" you refer to? AFAICS, for cores, BFD
extracts it from the NT_AUVX note.

Double-space after period.
Otherwise looks OK.
