 Shall we drop the unused gdbarch API so as to avoid further confusion 
then?  Shouldn't target_signal_from_host be renamed to something closer to 
what it really does, e.g. signal_from_target?  It's not that host signals 
really ever matter unless host == target in which case they're still 
target signals too (this observation applies to gdbserver as well).
