Approved and applied.

Note - I made a couple of changes.  I changed the tests so that the
old "i[3-7]86-netbsd*-gnu" triplet would still be recognised.  If this
triplet needs to be removed it should be added to the obsolete
configurations code in bfd/config.bfd first.

Also, I did not check in this part of the patch:

Since the code in alpha.exp has already checked to see if the first
part of the triplet contains "alpha" there seemed to be no need to
check the last part for knetbsd.  Of course if there is going to be an
alpha port using the knetbsd string then this ought to be changed.
