577379ab60 * stabs.texinfo (Stabs in ELF): Clarify how Bbss.bss work with respect
to picking which Bbss.bss symbol to use, and (because there seems to
	be no good way of doing it) re-write some of the text to make it
	sound like Bbss.bss isn't such a great idea after all (as currently
	designed).

5bc927fb4e Markup changes to run through TeX without errors.
WARNING: (1) this has not yet been proofread as a printout---just eliminated
             problems that TeX complained about.
         (2) extraneous line breaks introduced in some examples, sometimes
             in ridiculously long strings; this may falsify examples.  Places
	     where I did this are marked by FIXME comments.
