Well, in all the time I've been working on GDB, I've never seen a user
question about Netware, a GNATS PR about Netware, or a developer commit
tested on Netware. To build it you need a Netware-provided SDK; I
don't know if those are still obtainable.

I'm fine with that if you'd prefer. I think we can ignore its old
configure file for now, then, instead of worrying about upgrading it to
2.5x (which started this discussion).
