	avoid compiler warnings

Tue Sep 29 13:24:09 1992  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

	* coffcode.h (coff_section_symbol): Create section if it doesn't
	already exist.

	* bout.c: Removed some unused variables.

Tue Sep 29 08:30:21 1992  Ian Lance Taylor  ([email protected])

	* Portability fixes from p3:
	coffcode.h (coff_write_relocs): removed sanity check until it
	works on all targets (per advice from sac).
	config/hp9000.mh: new file to define USG.
	hppa.c: #undef hppa before the JUMP_TABLE.
	hosts/hppahpux.h: #define NATIVE_HPPAHPUX_COMPILER if not
	__STDC__.
	targets.c (bfd_target_list): if NATIVE_HPPAHPUX_COMPILER, make
	local variable target volatile to avoid mysterious bug in
	HP9000/700 cc.

Sat Sep 26 03:58:49 1992  John Gilmore  ([email protected])

	* config/hppabsd.mh, config.hppahpux.mh:  Remove various bogosity.

	* configure.in (*-adobe-* target):  Add.
	* targets.c (a_out_adobe_vec):  Add.
	* Makefile.in:  add aout-adobe.c.

	* configure.in:  Put two dashes in all entries to be matched.
	Add comments to remind people to do this.
	Reorder all entries that match manufacturer names, to occur
	last, so they will only be matched if no more specific match
	occurs.  Remove manufacturers `aout', `bout', `coff', and `elf'.

Fri Sep 25 15:03:22 1992  Brendan Kehoe  ([email protected])

	* elf.c (section_from_elf_index): Return bfd_abs_section, not 0,
	since we should never have a NULL section.
	(elf_slurp_symbol_table): If st_shndx doesn't match any of our
	tests, set the section to bfd_abs_section.

Fri Sep 25 11:11:57 1992  Steve Chamberlain  ([email protected])

	* coff-z8k.c: getting closer
	* coffcode.h (coff_get_relocated_section_contents): allow

	just ncr.

Thu Sep 17 06:40:46 1992  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

	* bout.c (b_out_slurp_reloc_table): Clear howto field before
	filling in reloc, in case immediately following code doesn't set
	it.

Fri Sep 11 15:37:06 1992  Ian Lance Taylor  ([email protected])

	* coffcode.h (coff_renumber_symbols): set the last renumbered
	symbol pointer to NULL, as expected by coff_write_linenumbers.
	(coff_write_relocs): apparently a non-zero addend is OK for reloc
	type R_IHCONST used on the 29k.

Thu Sep 10 13:28:24 1992  John Gilmore  ([email protected])

	* opncls.c (bfd_fdopenr):  Determine whether to fdopen for
	update, based on how the underlying file was opened.  Obsoletes

	all FASCIST_FDOPEN config defines.

Tue Sep  8 21:37:58 1992  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

	* Makefile: Don't compile it.

Tue Sep  8 10:10:34 1992  Ian Lance Taylor  ([email protected])

Thu Sep  3 19:29:04 1992  Per Bothner  ([email protected])

	* section.c (bfd_set_section_flags):  Remove a sanity check.
	It is unfortunately broken, and prevents strip from working.

Thu Sep  3 16:14:40 1992  Jim Wilson  ([email protected])

	* sparc-opc.c (condr): Remove extraneous, but harmless, backlash
	created by last change.

Thu Sep  3 13:52:38 1992  Per Bothner  ([email protected])

	* reloc.c (reloc_howto_struct):  Make size field be unsigned.

Wed Sep  2 00:26:32 1992  Per Bothner  ([email protected])

	* Makefile.in:  Added mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.

Tue Sep  1 13:38:40 1992  Per Bothner  ([email protected])

	* targets.c (target_vector):  Take out oasys (unless that is
	the default):  Because there is no magic number in archives,
	there can be annoying target mis-matches.

Mon Aug 31 10:11:37 1992  Jim Wilson  ([email protected])

	* sparc-opc.c: Rigorously updated to match architecture manual.

Mon Aug 31 08:07:58 1992  Steve Chamberlain  ([email protected])

Fri Aug 28 16:29:15 1992  Ian Lance Taylor  ([email protected])

	* archive.c (bfd_slurp_bsd_armap): if the symdef_count is too
	large, assume we're using a swapped byte order and fail with
	wrong_format rather than dumping core.

Fri Aug 28 15:38:03 1992  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

	* Renamed opc-sparc.c to sparc-opc.c for systems with short
	filename constraints.

	* seclet.c (rel, seclet_dump_seclet, seclet_dump): get the app to
	pass down pointer to play area rather than use alloca

	(bodytext): Put bulletize before kill_bogus_lines.
	* chew.c (bulletize): End itemization after a blank line, to
	prevent following text from being swallowed up in an item.

Mon Aug 24 20:50:22 1992  Stu Grossman  (grossman at cygnus.com)

	* configure.in:  Add sparclite as a target.

Mon Aug 24 12:06:31 1992  Steve Chamberlain  ([email protected])

	* ieee.c (ieee_get_symtab): always null terminate the symbol list,
	lint.

	* coffcode.h (coff_add_missing_symbols): if symbols don't come
	from a coff file (csym is null), dont deref them

	* ieee.c (parse_expression): get the answer right when adding an
	abs+(sec+off), (ieee_generic_stat_arch_elt): call ieee_object_p
	on elts so that filename is filled in.

Thu Aug 20 19:05:48 1992  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

	* bout.c (howto_align_table): New set of relocs, with enough
	data for "objdump -r" to work.

Fri Aug 14 19:22:18 1992  Per Bothner  ([email protected])

	* aout-target.h:  Make _bfd_slurp_extended_name_table be
	the default.  Given that we *write* the suckers (for long
	archive member names), we really ought to be able to read them!
	* trad-core.c:  Don't include <machine/reg.h>.  It doesn't
	seem to be needed, and many machines don't have it.

Thu Aug 13 09:53:39 1992  Steve Chamberlain  ([email protected])

	* coff-m68k.c (vector): read and write archives in coff format.

	* bout.c (bfd_reloc_status_type, callj_callback):  Cast void*
	pointers to bfd_byte* before performing arithmetic on them.  Such
	use with bare void* pointers is a gcc extension.
	* cache.c (bfd_cache_delete):  Forward decl with prototype form.
	* archive (normalize):  Add to CONST to match actual usages with
	CONST.

Mon Aug  3 00:35:29 1992  Fred Fish  ([email protected])

	for i486-ncr-sysv4.

Sat Aug  1 13:49:59 1992  Fred Fish  ([email protected])

	* config/stratus.mt (CC):  Remove definition.
	* elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr):  Test for the possibility that

	* add hppa_data to bfd tdata (indirectly via sef).

	* config/hppahpux.mh: hpux is -DUSG (patch by sef)

Thu Jul 16 16:39:25 1992  Steve Chamberlain  ([email protected])

	* coff-m68k.c: added R_RELLONG_NEG reloc type, and changed
	RTYPE2HOWTO to cope with same.
	* reloc.c (bfd_perform_relocation): added support for size of -2
	(subtract a word reloc type). Updated doc.

Thu Jul 16 16:28:09 1992  K. Richard Pixley  ([email protected])

	* Makefile.in: merged changes from progressive, removed rcsid.

	* archures.c, archive.c, Makefile.dos: removed rcsid.

	dumb compilers

Tue Jul 14 14:06:28 1992  Stu Grossman  (grossman at cygnus.com)

	* rs6000-core.c (rs6000coff_core_p):  Greatly simplify expression,

Mon Jul 13 05:06:51 1992  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* elf.c (elf_slurp_symbol_table):  Now 2nd arg is where to write
	symbol pointers.  Punt expensive & useless bfd_realloc.  Use
	malloc for raw symbols, and free it before returning.
	(bfd_section_from_shdr):  Do not slurp symbol table until politely
	asked. 	Do not even slurp string tables.
	(elf_get_symtab_upper_bound):  Count 'em without reading them.	
	(elf_get_symtab):  This is how to politely ask.  Schlurp!
	This should probably just *become* elf_slurp_symbol_table, FIXME.

Wed Jul  8 16:24:33 1992  Steve Chamberlain  ([email protected])

	* archive.c (bsd_write_armap): write the timestamp of the
	archive header to be just a little bit later than the timestamp of
	the file, otherwise the linker will complain that the index is

Fri Jun 19 20:23:21 1992  Steve Chamberlain  ([email protected])
	Lints for bfd_reloc_code_type->bfd_reloc_code_real_type, and
	correct calling of howto special functions and fixes from Raeburn
	for gas<>bfdness
	* archures.c: nuke bfd_reloc_code_type

Fri Jun 19 19:00:45 1992  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* elf.c (bfd_elf_find_section):  Mark as INTERNAL_FUNCTION so
	its prototype will be included in libbfd.h.  Change result type
	to struct * (rather than equivalent typedef) so it can be used in
	the prototype, where they typedef won't be known.

	be unsigned chars instead to get around rs6000 compiler problem.

Wed Jun 17 13:55:31 1992  Fred Fish  ([email protected])

	* elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr, elf_slurp_symbol_table):
	Correct misconception that there can be only one symbol table.
	Only call elf_slurp_symbol_table on the full symbol table, not
	the dynamic one which is only a subset of the full one.

Wed Jun 17 15:54:57 1992  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

	* coffcode.h (coff_compute_section_file_positions): For I960,
	don't align sections in file.

Tue Jun 16 06:28:21 1992  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

	(but not file-specific) data, for distinguishing minor
	characteristics between (e.g.) a.out formats.

	* coffcode.h (coff_write_relocs): Write out swapped reloc, not
	pre-swapped version.

	field decl.  New fields indicate size of page and segment for
	architecture.
	* cpu-m68k.c (N): Fill in values.
	* cpu-sparc.c (arch_info_struct): Ditto.

	* libaout.h (struct aout_backend_data): Various bits of data (not

	Important field for now is text_includes_header, indicating that
	the text section starts immediately after the file header, which
	gets mapped in with it.
	(struct aout_data): New fields indicate whether vma has been
	adjusted yet (not yet used), and what magic number will be used in
	the output file (should go away in favor of vma_adjusted).
	(WRITE_HEADERS): Code for dealing with section sizes and related
	header fields replaced with call to adjust_sizes_and_vmas.
	* aoutx.h (some_aout_object_p): Fill in magic number field.

	(set_arch_mach): Set page size and segment size once CPU
	type is known.
	(adjust_sizes_and_vmas): New function; has much code moved
	from set_section_contents and WRITE_HEADERS.  Sets or adjusts vma
	and size parameters, as well as many header fields, after deciding
	on magic number for output file.  Checks to ensure that this
	adjustment has only been done once.
	(set_section_contents): Call adjust_sizes_and_vmas instead of
	doing much of the work here.

	indicating file header is included in text section.

	* aoutf1.h (MY_reloc_howto_type_lookup): Fix typo.

	* hosts/sparc.h (abort, exit): Hide these names if compiling with
	gcc version 2, to avoid warnings.

Mon Jun 15 12:26:56 1992  Fred Fish  ([email protected])

	* config/ncr3000.mh (INSTALL, RANLIB):  Don't use /usr/ucb/install,
	it's broken on ncr 3000's.  Use simple "true" for RANLIB.

Sat Jun 13 09:16:43 1992  Michael Tiemann  ([email protected])

	* configure.in (m680[01234]0-wrs-*): Fix typo in match pattern.

	* elf.c (elf_obj_tdata):  Merge elf_obj_tdata_struct and
	elf_core_tdata_struct into a single common struct.  Core files
	wouldn't have worked at all without this.
	(bfd_elf_find_section):  New function for GDB's undercover use
	to find string sections that BFD hides from it.
	(elf_get_str_section):  Avoid multiple alloc&reads for same data;

Fri Jan 24 14:40:17 1992  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* everything: now modified to use smaller reloc type. Self hosts
	on sun3 & sun4.

Sat Jan 18 17:00:16 1992  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* config/mh-stratus, config/mt-i860-elf, hosts/h-stratus:
	New files for stratus.

	* configure.in:  Add configuration fragments for stratus.

Wed Jan 15 10:02:43 1992  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* aoutx.h (NAME(aout,find_nearest_line)): Declare various filename
	variables as CONST since they are set to point to a const char
	string.  Fixes compiler complaints.

Fri Jan 10 17:44:53 1992  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* hosts/h-amix.h hosts/h-i386v4.h:  Change abort() to a function

	* coff-i960.c:  Add COFF_SWAP_TABLE to little_vec as well as big_vec.
	(Reported by [email protected] (John Carey)).

Wed Jan  1 04:23:06 1992  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* elf.c:  Change all '#if HAVE_PROCFS' to '#ifdef HAVE_PROCFS'.

	* config/mh-amix, config/mh-i386v4:  Remove HDEFINES that was
	being used to -DHAVE_PROCFS.

	* hosts/h-amix, hosts/h-i386v4:  Add '#define HAVE_PROCFS'.  Move
	'#include "fopen-same.h"' to end of file to match other h-* files.

Fri Dec 20 12:06:17 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* configure.in:  Change svr4 references to sysv4.  Add case
	"unknown" for target vendor and infer some targets based
	on the specified operating system.

Wed Dec 18 17:17:59 1991  Stu Grossman  (grossman at cygnus.com)

	* bfd-in.h, libaout.h:  ANSIfy enums.

Wed Dec 18 16:12:25 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* archive.c (normalize): created version for VMS which removes the
	VMS directory crap from the front and end of a filename, eg turn
	[-.foo]bar.obj;123 into bar.obj
	(bfd_construct_extended_name_table): now writes index into an
	extended name table in decimal - the same base used to read an
	extended name table.

Wed Dec 18 14:40:39 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* aout-encap.c:  Fix to use aout-target.h.
	* aoutf1.h:  Use standard MY_object_p and MY_callback
	in aout-target.h.  Remove target-specific versions.
	* host-aout.c:  Re-write to use aout-target.h.
	* gen-aout.c:  New files use with host-aout.c to generate
	host-specific a.out-related parameters.
	* Makefile.in:  host-aout.o depends on aout-params.h, which is
	generated by gen-aout.
	* aout-target.h:  Make a little more flexible.
	* libaout.h, aout-target.h:  Removed WORK_OUT_FILE_POSTIONS
	macro.  Instead, inline it in aout-target.h.
	* newsos3.c:  Define N_SHARED_LIB(x) as 0 to avoid
	a gcc -Wall warning.
	* archive.c:  Add missing commas in DEFUN macro (2 places).
	* elf.c, coffcode.h, aoutf1.h:  Use ANSI functions instead of
	Berkeley ones, now that libiberty has them:
	bcopy->memcpy, bzero->memset, bcmp->memcmp.
	* aoutx.h:  Various touch-ups:  Re-formatting, fix a cast,
	remove unused variable.

Tue Dec 17 19:48:59 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* elf.c (elf_core_file_matches_executable_p):  Enclose corename
	and execname inside HAVE_PROCFS ifdef since they are unused
	when it is not defined.

Mon Dec 16 12:00:10 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* elf.c:  Flag all sections as either code or data.  We can't
	be sure what they are anyway, since ELF doesn't fit the
	traditional model of text+data+bss very well.  Add new local
	function elf_read() to simplify code.  Record entry point in
	the bfd structure.

Thu Dec 12 21:01:22 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* hosts/h-*.h:  Configure fopen using ../include/fopen-*.h

Sat Dec  7 16:39:23 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	 * Makefile.in: fix where docdir lives

	 * aoutx.h, archive.c, archures.c, bfd.c, cache.c, coff-m88k.c,
	 coffcode.h, core.c, ctor.c, elf.c, format.c, ieee.c, init.c,
	 libbfd.c, libbfd.h, libcoff.h, opncls.c, reloc.c, section.c,
	 srec.c, syms.c, targets.c : all new documentation and lint
	 removal.


Sat Dec  7 07:22:09 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* coffcode.h, srec.c:  Lint.

Fri Dec  6 22:58:48 1991  K. Richard Pixley  (rich at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* Makefile.in: install using INSTALL_DATA, added standards.text
	  support.

	* configure.in: mark directory as target dependent.  configure
	  nows works in objdir always so make file existence checks
	  against ${srcdir}.

Thu Dec  5 22:46:19 1991  K. Richard Pixley  (rich at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* Makefile.in: idestdir and ddestdir go away.  Added copyrights
	  and shift gpl to v2.  Added ChangeLog if it didn't exist. docdir
	  and mandir now keyed off datadir by default.

Wed Dec  4 10:14:17 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* aoutf1.h (sunos_<size>_object_p, sunos4_callback): moved the
	computation of arch and machine type so it's worked out before
	some_aout_object_p is called. 
	* aoutx.h: (some_aout_object_p): don't set arch and mach to
	unknown.
	* archures.c: add extra field 'section_align_power' to hold
	default section alignment in object files.
	* cpu-a29k.c, cpu-h8300.c, cpu-i386.c, cpu-i960.c, cpu-m68k.c,
	cpu-m88k.c, cpu-mips.c, cpu-rs6000.c, cpu-sparc.c, cpu-vax.c:
	initialize the new field.
	* bout.c (b_out_callback): replace the text size, since aout
	fries them.
	* aoutx.h: Documentation in the new style

Wed Dec  4 02:00:30 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* bfd.c (bfd_get_mtime):  Don't cache mtime any more; only
	use the saved value if mtime_set is already set (intended
	for archive files, though apparently not used yet).

Tue Dec  3 22:54:50 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* targets.c:  Revise comments about how to configure the target
	vector, to match reality.  Remove mention of obsolete methods.
	Remove long lists of capitalized macros that turn into the same
	thing in lowercase.  Normal vector simply lists all known
	lowercase xvec names; all other cases are handled by SELECT_VECS.

	* config/mt-i386-coff:  Set DEFAULT_VECTOR to real identifier,
	not macro name.

	* config/mt-i960-{coff,bout}:  Use SELECT_VECS to make a short
	list of supported targets.

Tue Dec  3 14:06:15 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* archive.c (bsd_write_armap):  The pad byte sometimes added to
	the string table in a __.SYMDEF member is now
	counted as part of the size of the string table.
	This is compatible with the old ranlib, as well as Sun's.

Tue Dec  3 10:53:30 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* srec.c: Rewrote to fix many bugs; now gets the record type
	right, doesn't choke on input, sets the start address in an S9 and
	fills in the filename on an S0.

Sat Nov 30 21:19:15 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* cpu-h8300.c: Add support for MEMIND addressing mode

	* coff-a29k.c: defined RELOC_PROCESSING to take the #ifdef out of
	coffcode.h
	* coffcode.h: use the new macro if available

	* elf.c (elf_corefile_note): cast malloc to avoid warning.
	* Makefile.in: Fixed dependencies due to file rename

	coff-mips.c, coff-rs6000.c, cpu-h300.c, elf.c, i386aout.c,
	newos3.c, stab-syms.c, syms.c: All these files have had their
	#includes altered to point to the new places.

Fri Nov 29 20:04:49 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* config/mh-i386v4, config/mh-i386-elf, hosts/h-i386v4.h:  New files.

	* configure.in:  Add vendor "ncr" as supported per-target vendor.
	Add svr4 case for i386 per-host case.

	* elf.c (elf_object_p, elf_core_file_p):  Add missing "break" to
	ELFDATA2LSB cases.

Fri Nov 29 12:16:51 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* syms.c (bfd_decode_symclass):  Return 'A'
	for symbols that are both absolute and global.
	* archive.c (bfd_special_undocumented_glue):  Return NULL
	if bfd_ar_hdr_from_filesystem returns NULL.

Tue Nov 26 09:10:55 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at cygnus.com)

	* Makefile.in: added coff-h8300
	* configure.in: now h8 is a coff target
	* cpu-h8300.c: fix various disassembly problems
	* libcoff.h: took out some code which has been #0ed for a long
	time.
	* targets.c: added h8 coff 
	* coff-a29k.c, coff-i386.c, coff-i960.c, coff-m68k.c, coff-m88k.c
	added new macro RTYPE2HOWTO to take a load of #ifdefs out of
	coffcode.h
	* coffcode.h: Started to change the way machine dependencies are
	handled, from the nest of #ifdefs to macros defined in the
	including coff-<foo>.c

Fri Nov 22 08:11:42 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* aoutx.h (some_aout_object_p):  Set the `executable' bit
	if the entry point is contained in the text segment, even if the
	text segment is at location 0.

	* coff-mips.c, coffcode.h:  Peter Schauer's patch to kludge in
	nonstandard MIPS sections (.rdata, .sdata, etc).

	* aoutx.h, bfd.c, coffcode.h, ieee.c, oasys.c, targets.c: CONST lint.
	* libbfd-in.h, libbfd.h, aoutx.h, coffcode.h, elf.c, libaout.h:
	Rename ALIGN to BFD_ALIGN to avoid conflict with BSD <sys/param.h>.
	* libbfd.c:  Lint.
	* host-aout.c, trad-core.c:  Fix write_armap prototypes.  Lint.

Thu Nov 21 19:56:40 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* stab-syms.c, syms.c:  Moved bfd_stab_name() and bfd_stab_names[]
	from syms.c to new file stab-syms.c.  Also, since GNU extended
	type codes such as N_SETT are no longer in ../include/stab.def,
	include them manually.
	* stab-syms.c, aoutx.h: Renamed bfd_stab_name() and
	bfd_stab_names[] to aout_stab_name() and aout_stab_names[].
	* libaout.h: Added prototype for aout_stab_name().
	* Makefile.in:  Update Makefile for new stab-syms.[co].

Thu Nov 21 11:50:49 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* libaout.h (WORK_OUT_FILE_POSITIONS):  One more try at this
	rather complicated seeming problem.  Eliminate LOGICAL_ versions,
	just make N_XXX work by excluding the header from the text segment.
	* aoutx.h:  Fix comments to match.

Tue Nov 19 18:49:01 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* libaout.h (WORK_OUT_FILE_POSITIONS):  Use new LOGICAL_TXTADDR,
	LOGICAL_TXTOFF, LOGICAL_TXTSIZE macros to figure out numbers
	for the "logical" text segment (i.e. never consider the exec
	header to be part of the text segment).  This change is
	needed for consistency with various other parts of bfd and ld.
	* aoutx.h (NAME(aout,soe_aout_object_p)):  Fix comment,
	and move calculation of obj_textsec(abfd)->size to libaout.h.
	* bfd-in.h:  Removed bogus ';'.

	* Makefile.in:  Add MINIMIZE flag to select lean
	or bloated target_vector.
	* targets.c:  Use new MINIMIZE macro, and add trad_core if needed.
	* newsos3.c:  Fixes to ../include/aout64.h remove need
	for special N_TXTOFF macro, but require N_HEADER_IN_TEXT.

Mon Nov 18 12:00:59 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* aout-target.h, aoutf1.h, newsos3.c:  Make aout-target.h
	handle both little and big-endian targets, with little
	the default unless TARGET_IS_BIG_ENDIAN_P is defined.
	* host-aout.c:  Add FIXME note.

Sun Nov 17 13:29:39 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* targets.c:  Make the default target_vector contain
	just &DEFAULT_VECTOR.  This makes executables a lot smaller.
	Old behavior can be gotten by defining ALL_TARGETS.
	* aoutf1.h, demo64.c, i386aout.c, newsos3.c, sunos.c:
	Factored out common code into new file aout-target.h.
	Saves a lot of duplicate code for a.out variants.

Fri Nov 15 13:00:43 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	Get 'make headers' to work when configured with +subdirs.
	* Makefile.in: Add $(subdir) to docdir path.
	* doc/Makefile.in (protos): Add $(srcdir) prefix
	to name of sed scripts.

Thu Nov 14 19:49:10 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* aoutx.h (NAME(aout,print_symbol)):  Fix thinko.
	* syms.c (bfd_stab_names):  Turn on new GNU_EXTRA_STABS macro
	to include names of N_SETT etc.

Thu Nov 14 19:11:13 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

    	* elf.c:  Add minimal support for ELF symbol tables.  Generates
	canonical bfd symbol tables from ELF symbol tables.  Change the
	name of some functions from bfd_<name> to elf_<name>.

	* syms.c:  Trivial fix to comment to remove a redundant "to".

Wed Nov 13 17:02:01 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* coff-{i386,m68k,m88k}.c:  Change name of file format to standard
	form that GDB recognizes as COFF.

Wed Nov 13 09:09:41 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at cygnus.com)

	* ieee.c (ieee_object_p):  cast NULL correctly.
	* configure.in: added harris host

Tue Nov 12 07:21:41 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* coff-m88k.c (coff_write_armap):  Just #undef it.

Mon Nov 11 20:30:18 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at cygnus.com)

	* Makefile.in: standardize on MINUS_G to disable debugging
	* coff-m88k.c: create coff armaps instead of bsd ones.
	* opncls.c (bfd_close_all_done), (bfd_close): Mask out random bits
	when calling chmod.

Mon Nov 11 19:07:32 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* elf.c:  Additions to support ELF format core files.
	* config/mh-amix:  Add -DHAVE_PROCFS to HDEFINES, since host
	has support for /proc (all the include files in particular).

Mon Nov 11 18:36:47 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* aoutx.h (NAME(aout,find_nearest_line)):  Handle the case
	of two N_SO stabs, one for directory, and one for filename.

	* bfd-in.h (print_vma):  Factor out duplicate definition.

	Exit a little more gracefully when malloc returns NULL.
	* libbfd.c: New function bfd_xmalloc (malloc wrapper).
	* opncls.c, syms.c, bout.c, aoutx.h:  Replace malloc by bfd_xmalloc.
	* libbfd.h: Rre-generated due to libbfd.c update.

Sat Nov  9 13:45:01 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

	* config/mt-m68k-elf:  Define DEFAULT_VECTOR as elf_big_vec.

	* elf.c (elf_object_p):  Don't try to create a bfd section for
	the first ELF section header.  It is just a placeholder.

Sat Nov  9 03:04:26 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* coff-rs6000.c, config/mh-rs6000:  Make it work on archive and
	core files, when compiling native.
	* hosts/h-rs6000.h:  Define FASCIST_FDOPEN for bfd_fdopenr.

	FIXME:  The aoutf1.h change below needs to be reversed back
	to the way it was.

Thu Nov  7 11:03:55 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* coffcode.h: Defined new macros [PUT|GET]LINENO_LNNO for
	manipulation of lnno fields in lineno structs in a coff-<f>.h
	independent way. Override it in coff-<f>.h to your favourite
	number if you don't have a 16bit lnno field. (coff_swap_lineno_in)
	(coff_swap_lineno_out): modified to use the new macros.

Mon Nov  4 11:38:33 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at cygnus.com)

	* aoutf1.h (sunos4_callback): Now defaults to 68020 rather than
	unknown arch when the magic number doesn't specify the
	architecture, since some OSs (eg old sun3s) don't set the number, and
	020 is probably the right answer anyway.

Sun Nov  3 12:07:08 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

	* hosts/h-news.h, hosts/h-rtbsd.h:
	Get rid of MISSING_VFPRINTF, since libiberty provides one.
	* bfd-in.h (bfd_print_symbol_type_hopw enum):   Add new option
	bfd_print_symbol_nm, for use by nm.
	* aoutx.h (NAME(aout,print_symbol)):  Add code for new
	bfd_print_symbol_nm option, to print in nm format.
	* coffcode.h (coff_print_symbol), ieee.c (ieee_print_symbol)
	oasys.c (oasys_print_symbol):  Provide stub implementations
	for bfd_print_symbol_nm.
	* syms.c:  New function bfd_decode_symclass, used by nm printer.
	New function bfd_stab_name to look up string name of stab code.

	* Makefile.in: Added ctor.c 
	* archures.c (bfd_default_arch_struct) added
	bfd_default_reloc_type_lookup.
	* coffcode.h: removed a load of #if 0ed code.
	(coff_compute_file_section_positions): now works out the section
	alignment and size correctly in all cases.
	(coff_get_symtab): looks for constructor symbols and calls the
	right function when they're found. (coff_canonicalize_reloc):
	knows when a section is full of constructors and does the right
	thing. 
	* cpu-m88k.c: Added default_reloc_type lookup to the architecture
	description.
	* libbfd-in.h: (bfd_default_reloc_type_lookup) defun  added.
	* libcoff.h: removed #if 0ed code
	* reloc.c: (bfd_reloc_code_real_type) added BFD_RELOC_CTOR for
	arch independent constructor relocation type.
	(bfd_reloc_type_lookup): removed the comment "this will go away"
	since it won't. (bfd_howto_32): stolen from 88k, this is a 32bit
	reloc which is used when BFD_RELOC_CTOR falls through to give a
	default 32bit reloc for constructors.
	(bfd_default_reloc_type_lookup): added.
	* aoutf1.h: fixed SEGMENT_SIZE typo.

Thu Oct 31 18:23:06 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* coff-rs6000.c:  Change name to "aixcoff-rs6000", to avoid
	matching prefix "coff".
	* coffcode.h (coff_swap_aux_in, coff_swap_aux_out):  Handle
	rs/6000 csect records.

Sun Oct 27 16:56:58 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

	* coff-m88k.c, targets.c: change name of m88k_bcs to m88kbcs
	* configure.in: add motorola delta88 cases
	* libbfd.h, libbfd-in.h, archive.c, ieee.c, elf.c, srec.c: fix
	write_armap prototype
	* libbfd.c: add doc on bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int

Fri Oct 25 02:48:19 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

	* Rename COFF-related files in `coff-ARCH.c' form.
	coff-a29k.c, coff-i386.c, coff-i960.c, coff-m68k.c, coff-m88k.c,
	coff-mips.c, coff-rs6000.c to be exact.
