        For executables, iterate through the sections to find out

        symbol_info field.  (symbol_info has a different meaning for
        dynamicly linked executables.)

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_core_file_p): Don't pass abfd to
        bfd_zmalloc.

        * som.c (som_begin_writing): Account for alignment needs of
        subspaces too when writing executables.  Never request a negative

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_core_file_p): Call bfd_zmalloc not
        bfd_zalloc for rawptr, because later on we may call free, not
        bfd_release, on it.

        * bfd.c (struct _bfd): Add cisco_core_struct to tdata union.
        * libbfd.c (bfd_read, bfd_seek): Add comments regarding errors.
        * cisco-core.c: New file.

        objcopy or strip.
        (som_section_data_struct): Remove several fields now in
        som_copyable_section_data_struct.  Make the space and 
        subspace dictionaries be pointers (to save space when
        only reading objects).

        * som.c (bfd_som_set_section_attributes): Now returns a boolean;
        some references changed.  Allocate a copyable data stucture if
        none exists.  Store info into the copyable data structure.
        (bfd_som_set_subsection_attributes): Likewise.
        (som_is_space, som_is_subspace, som_is_container): New functions.
        Use these instead of directly accessing private data.
        (som_prep_headers): Allocate space and subspace headers here.
        Fill in some fields in the space/subspace headers from the
        copyable data.
        (som_bfd_copy_private_section_data): Only copy the stuff
        that we really need to make objcopy and strip work.  Allocate
        the copy_data structure for the output bfd before copying.

        * som.h (struct som_exec_data): New structure to hold exec
        info that must be preserved when running objcopy/strip.
        (struct somdata): Add new "exec_data" field and accessor
        macro.  Add some comments on how the various fields are used.
        (som_section_data_struct): Make is_space and is_subspace bitfields.
        Delete unused subspace_index.  All references now use the
        target_index field within the section structure itself.

        * som.c (make_unique_section): Delete unused declaration.
        (som_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data): New function.
        (som_object_setup): Allocate space for and save exec information
        that needs to be copied during objcopy/strip.
        (som_mkobject): Do not allocate space for a file header here.
        It is not used when only reading SOM objects.
        (som_prep_headers): Allocate space for and attach a file header
        to the output bfd.  For executables, use the saved system_id
        value rather than trying to guess the right value.  Do not abort
        wwhen setting file_hdr->entry* for executables.
        (som_begin_writing): For executables, set the exec_entry and
        exec_flags fields.
        (som_copy_private_backend_section_data): Always return a value.

        * libhppa.h (PA_PAGESIZE): Define.

        * som.c (SOM_ALIGN): Define.
        (som_begin_writing): If writing an executable, initialize all
        fields in the exec header to zero.  Update fields in the exec
        header as sizes of loadable subspaces are computed.  Carefully
        preserve alignments when building executables.  Actually write the
        exec after all the fields are filled in.

        * Better long-filename handling.  Reads SOM ABI compliant extended
        names, but doesn't quite write compliant extended names yet.
        * som.c (som_slurp_extended_name_table): Delete function.  The
        generic code will handle things correctly.
        (som_slurp_armap): Seek to the beginning of the next member.
        (normalize): New function.
        (som_bfd_ar_write_symbol_stuff): Take the size of the extended
        name table into account when computing the file offsets in the
        SOM dictionary.  Make sure to align to an even boundary.
        (som_write_armap): Initialize the checksum to zero.
        (ar_maxchars): Fix.  Opps.

        machine.  Handle BFD_RELOC_SPARC13 and BFD_RELOC_SPARC_BASE13.

Thu Mar 17 18:26:46 1994  Ken Raeburn  (raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com)

        * bfd-in.h (BFD_VERSION): Use @VERSION@.
        * Makefile.in (bfd.h): Replace it with contents of VERSION file.
        * bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_bfd_is_local_label): Fixed typo where
        this was also named trad_unix_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data.

Thu Mar 17 10:37:07 1994  Jim Kingdon  (kingdon@lioth.cygnus.com)

        * aoutx.h, elfcode.h, coff-alpha.c, bout.c, ecoff.c, ecofflink.c,
        elf32-hppa.c, elf32-mips.c, linker.c, som.c, sunos.c: If malloc(0)
        returns NULL, it is not an error.  It's possible that some of
        these checks are not necessary (because the size can never be
        zero), but putting in the checks is the conservative thing to do
        in light of the fact that some of these malloc calls replaced
        unchecked alloca calls, in which a zero argument would work fine.

Thu Mar 17 11:44:45 1994  Ian Lance Taylor  (ian@tweedledumb.cygnus.com)

        * osf-core.c (osf_core_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data): Remove
        duplicate definition.
        (osf_core_bfd_is_local_label): Define.

        * reloc.c (bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents): Don't fail
        if malloc (0) fails.  bfd_canonicalize_reloc returning 0 is not a
        failure indication, it merely means there are no relocs.

        * elfcode.h (NAME(bfd_elf,write_object_contents)): Don't use space
        after NAME, since SunOS /bin/cc can't handle it.

        * aoutf1.h (4 places): Use a simple #if on ARCH_SIZE, rather than
        all that convoluted stuff with NAME, CAT3, etc.  The convoluted
        stuff broke for SunOS4 /bin/cc (due to DEFUN elimination, I guess).

Wed Mar 16 00:02:05 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)

        * som.c (som_prep_for_fixups): Detect section symbols based
        on either the lack of private data or the symbol flags.  Do not
        munge section symbol names anymore -- they no longer confuse GDB.
        (som_begin_writing): Leave space for an exec header if writing
        an executable.
        (som_slurp_symbol_table): Recognize both forms of section symbol
        names "L$0\002" and "$<FOO>$".  Change the name of "L$0\002"
        section symbols to be the name of the section they represent.
        Debugging  symbols begin with "L$0\001", not just "L$".

        * bfd-in2.h, libbfd.h, libcoff.h: Rebuilt.

        * bfd-in.h (JUMP_TABLE): Add new entries to the jump table
        for bfd_copy_private_section_data, bfd_copy_private_bfd_data,
        and bfd_is_local_label.

        libaout.h, libecoff.h, nlm-target.h, oasys.c, srec.c, tekhex.c
        Default new vectors for copying private backend data to bfd_true.
        Default new vector for determining if a symbol is a local label
        to bfd_generic_is_local_label.

        * som.c (som_bfd_copy_private_section_data): New function.
        (som_bfd_is_local_label): New function.
        (som_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data): For now default to bfd_true.

        * elf32-hppa.c (hppa_elf_is_local_label): New function.

Tue Mar 15 23:55:47 1994  Ian Lance Taylor  (ian@tweedledumb.cygnus.com)

        * cf-m68klynx.c (CALC_ADDEND): Use _bfd_m68klynx_howto_table.

Tue Mar 15 04:41:13 1994  David J. Mackenzie  (djm@rtl.cygnus.com)

        * Most files:
        Replace DEFUN and DEFUN_VOID with K&R-style function definition.
        Indent some of them to GNU standards.

        * aout32.c, archures.c, core.c, cpu-h8300.c, cpu-i960.c,
        cpu-m68k.c, cpu-m88k.c, cpu-mips.c, cpu-vax.c, ctor.c, demo64.c,

        libieee.h, liboasys.h, newsos3.c, som.h, stab-syms.c, sunos.c:
        Update copyright years.

Mon Mar 14 11:41:23 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)

        * som.c (som_prep_for_fixups): A relocation involving the section
        symbol for the *ABS* section is really a relocation involving
        no symbol.
        (som_slurp_symbol_table): Do not set BSF_GLOBAL or BSF_EXPORT for
        undefined symbols.  Correctly distinguish between debugger symbols
        and section symbols.

        * som (setup_sections): Set SEC_DEBUGGING and the section attributes
        for spaces and subspaces.

        * som.c (som_bfd_count_ar_symbols): Fix typo.

        HAS_RELOC based on the object's magic number.
        (make_unique_section): Delete function.  BFD and its users are
        prepared to handle multiple sections with the same name.
        (setup_sections): Allocate space on the BFD's obstack to hold
        section names.  Use bfd_make_setion_anyway rather than the
        obsolete make_unique_section.
        (som_prep_headers): Choose the correct SOM magic number based
        on the BFD's flags.
        (som_bfd_fill_in_ar_symbols): Return false, not NULL on error.

        * sunos.c (sunos_read_dynamic_info):  Assume that dynamic info
        is always located at the start of the data section to allow
        recovery of the dynamic info from a stripped executable.
        * ecoff.c (ecoff_styp_to_sec_flags):  Handle STYP_PDATA, STYP_XDATA
        and STYP_COMMENT.

Wed Mar  9 17:17:53 1994  Jim Kingdon  (kingdon@lioth.cygnus.com)

        * libbfd-in.h: Remove alloca cruft.  It was missing some necessary
        cruft (like the #pragma alloca for AIX).
        In addition to that problem, the C alloca calls xmalloc, which
        means checking for being out of memory can't work right.  The
        following changes remove all uses of alloca from BFD.
        * hosts/solaris2.h: Remove alloca cruft.
        * som.c: Replace alloca with a fixed size auto array.

        freeing.
        * linker.c: Replace alloca with obstack_alloc.
        * libbfd.h: Rebuilt.

        MIPS_R_GPREL.

Sat Mar  5 14:08:54 1994  Peter Schauer  (pes@regent.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de)

        * elf32-hppa.h, elfcode.h:  Replace uses of Elf*_Half, Elf*_Word,
        Elf*_Off typedefs by their expansion, the typedefs have been
        removed from include/elf/internal.h.
        * elfcode.h (bfd_section_from_shdr):  Handle SHT_DYNAMIC section like
        SHT_PROGBITS section.

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_core_file_p): A non-zero, not zero,
        return from bfd_seek indicates an error.
        New macro TRAD_CORE_DSIZE_INCLUDES_TSIZE to replace
        TRAD_CORE_STACK_OFFSET.
        * hosts/symmetry.h: Define TRAD_CORE_DSIZE_INCLUDES_TSIZE and
        TRAD_CORE_USER_OFFSET but not HOST_STACK_OFFSET.

Wed Mar  2 11:57:03 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)

        * som.[ch]: Do not include libhppa.h in som.c, instead include
        it in som.h.

        * elf32-hppa.[ch]: Do not include libhppa.h in elf32-hppa.c, instead
        include it in elf32-hppa.h.

        * som.c (log2): Return -1 on error rather than aborting.
        (setup_sections): Bubble up an error from log2.

        * som.c (hppa_som_gen_reloc_type): Use correct enum type for
        field parameter.

        (hppa_elf_build_linker_stub): Try again to get the sym_ptr_ptr
        right in the original relocation and the stub's relocation.

        * elf32-hppa.h (hppa_look_for_stub_in_section): Fix typo.  Delete
        unused symbols argument.

        * elf32-hppa.c (hppa_elf_stub_reloc): Accept asymbol ** rather
        than asymbol * for original target symbol.  All callers changed.
        Set reloc->sym_ptr_ptr appropriately.
        (hppa_elf_build_linker_stub): Set reloc->sym_ptr_ptr correctly.
        (hppa_elf_look_for_stubs_in_section): No longer need symbols
        argument.  Use the output symbols when canonicalizing the relocs,
        creating them if necessary.

        * linker.c (_bfd_generic_link_output_symbols): Do not
        rebuild/clobber the output symbols if they already exist.

        functions.  Delete unused/unnecessary arguments to some functions.
        Group static vars together.  Abort for bad errors until we have
        error code propogation working.  Work on spacing and indention.
        Add FIXMEs for unresolved problems.  Use enums rather than
        #defines for lots of things.  Merge two functions which build
        linker stubs into a single function (so they can easily share a
        ton of common code).

        static vars together.  Collapse common case statements together
        in many places.  Use default case when possible instead of listing
        each case separately.  Abort for bad errors until we get error
        code propogation working.  Work on spacing and indention problems.
        Add FIXMEs for some unresolved problems.  Delete hopelessly broken 
        COMPLEX relocation support (it's never used anyway).
        (hppa_elf_rebuild_insn): Delete.  Moved into libhppa.h.
        (elf_hppa_tc_symbol): Accept and use new arguments (symext chains).

        * elfcode.h (alloca): Delete declaration.

        * som.c (som_prep_headers): Use CPU_PA_RISC1_0 for magic
        number rather than HP9000S800_ID.  Note som.c is careful
        to make sure CPU_PA_RISC1_0 is always defined.

        * Makefile.in (targets.o, archures.o): Use ALL_CFLAGS to supply

        * section.c (bfd_get_section_contents): Since this function reads
        unrelocated contents, the section's raw size is always the one to
        use for bounds checking.

        that reloc->addend falls between the current source offset and the
        raw size of the input section.

        * config.bfd: Support i960 vxworks versions > 5.0 with coff, not
        bout.  Default with no version number is still bout.  Support
        explicit i960-coff target too.

        fixed some comments, removed some "#if 1" lines.

        * libnlm.h: Don't bother to check for nlm_backend(bfd) being NULL
        in the backend accessor macros; that should no longer be possible.
