Right.  That '*' matches more than I meant.  If I listed cpu-*-netbsd*
as slated for removal, then I should have excepted cpu-*-netbsdelf*.

Good.  However, work in progress isn't enough to save m88k, I'm afraid.
m88k is currently a non-BFD_ASSEMBLER target, and I want to rip out all
the generic gas support for non-BFD_ASSEMBLER.  I suppose we could keep
the m88k backend files on CVS head if the person working on m88k wanted,
but m88k-coff would no longer configure or build.
