You're right, infptrace.c is the older one.  The interfaces are very
different - to move from one to the other you really have to be able to
test the changed config.  Your grep was a little too simple; if you
take a look at the grep results, you'll see that only a handful of
configs still use infptrace.c: alpha-osf, i386-sco, powerpc-aix,
rs6000-lynxos.  The SCO and LynxOS configurations are going to be
deleted soon but someone needs to update alpha-osf and powerpc-aix
eventually.
