Great!  Nick also checked in my BFD patch - 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-02/msg00454.html in case
anyone cares - so I was able to do a cvs update, rebuild, and things
work.

Yes, well as you point out hacking on register_raw_size to change the
behavior of remote.c is a kludge and should go away.  Whether to send
float registers, for example, or what size to send the registers as,
isn't really even a target-arch thing as such.  Seems like it should
be negotiated or self-describing in the protocol itself (maybe with
user-settable options if needed).
