I was motivated to sort this out while working on my register API which is target agnostic but ran into the weeds when trying to link up with the gdbstub. This was due to us building gdbstub for every single target we support due to a few ABI sensitive bits that require CPU specific information. This series does a bunch of surgery to break the monolithic file apart into its constituent parts as well as simplify the headers to users can avoid bringing in more dependencies than they need.
While the final result does increase the number of object files we reduce the total size of them all. We could go even further if we manage to build just 2 ABI binaries and sort out the magic to link them in meson. I think this requires us to removing TARGET_LONG_BITS from cpu-defs.h and exposing it to the build machinery.
