I don't think this is going to work.  Our binaries are very generic elf with
no special sections or anything to distinguish them.  The only way to tell
that we're targetting a qnx binary will be when someone types 'target qnx
...'.  Is it acceptable to have the gdbarch stuff come into play when
someone does that targetting?

cheers,
