Subject: 	* sunos.c (sunos_read_dynamic_info):  Assume that dynamic info
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3e0b55542085e3720a8cc9374464e0ee8f624cfd;p=binutils-gdb.git

	* 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.
