I've submitted two problem reports with patches: One that enable the
ptrace PT_GETFPREGS and PT_SETFPREGS commands; another that dumps FP
registers in core dumps.  I don't know if these have been integrated.

I didn't know that the in-tree GDB had some NetBSD/powerpc support
(because it's not built by make world), so I wrote my own NetBSD/
powerpc target.  It has been integrated into the GDB development
sources --- I just missed getting it in before GDB 5.0 was cut.

The combination of the patches and a recent GDB snapshot appears to
work fairly well.
