Yeah, %fs and %gs of course are only applicable to x86/amd64.  I don't
recall if the TIB structure on x86 WinCE is the same as the x86 desktop
Windows , and/or whether the ARM/x86 WinCE versions have the same
layout (ISTR not), or even what's the story for the new ARM WinRT (which I'm
assuming will a GDB port to soon enough).  In any case, it's windows_get_tlb_type
that will probably need to evolve and be moved to arch tdep files.  Making all
the Windows builds link in windows-tdep.c is definitely the correct
thing to do.

Leave this one.  "skip_trampoline_code" is also related to shared library
handling.

Otherwise OK.

Thanks!
