* ieee.c: if some places where null pointers were used instead of &bfd_abs_section.
* configure.in: tandem target is st2000
* coff-m68k.c: rename static howto_table to global
m68kcoff_howto_table.
* bout.c: remove unnecessary abort
elf.c: Remove extraneous paren from core_prpsinfo and core_prpstatus
macros, rename core_prpstatus to core_prstatus. Replace references to
old section "size" member with new "_raw_size" member. Implement
elf_make_empty_symbol, which is now used.
* 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}.

* 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.
* 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
from syms.c to new file stab-syms.c.
Renamed to aout_stab_name() and aout_stab_names[].
Also, since GNU extended type codes such as N_SETT are no longer
in ../include/stab.def, include them manually.
* 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.
* trad-core.c: Document how to use it nowadays.
* i386aout.c, newsos3.c: Clean up.
* i386coff.c: Allow 386 coff files to be used as core files too
(for reading core files from embedded systems).
Mon Sep 30 15:13:46 1991 Steve Chamberlain (steve at cygnus.com)
* cpu-a29k.c, cpu-i386.c, cpu-m68k.c, cpu-mips.c, cpu-vax.c,
cpu-h8300.c, cpu-i960.c, cpu-m88k.c, cpu-sparc.c: added. These
files will eventually contain processor specific bits for bfd,
like strange relocation information and dis/assembly. So far only
the H8 has been even partially done. This work also ties in with
the change in handling architectures.
* amdcoff.c: (a29k_reloc) fix error message.
* aout-f1.h: (choose_reloc_size) now calls bfd_get_arch to
discover the architecture of the bfd. (sunos4_callback) calls the
function bfd_set_arch_mach rather than stuffing stuff directly
into the bfd. (sunos4_write_object_contents), changed names of
accessor functions.
* aoutx.h: (set_arch_mach) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach to
setup the environment.
* archive.c: (bfd_slurp_coff_armap) coff archives always have the
headers in big endian format, regardless of the endianess of the
host or target.
* archures.c: totally changed. Now an architecture is represented
with a pointer to an info structure rather than an enumerated type
and a long. The old info is available as two elements in the
structure. Future enhancements to architecure support will
involve pointers to methods being placed into the info structure.
* bfd.c: changed the definition of the bfd structure for the new
architecture stuff.
* bout.c: (b_out_set_arch_mach) changed to use the new
architecture mechanism.
* coffcode.h: (coff_set_arch_mach, coff_set_flags) changed to use
the new architecture mechanism.
* configure.in: added h8 stuff.
* ieee.c: too many changes to note. Now ieee files written with
bfd gas and ld can be read by gld and ieee only linkers and
simulators.
* libbfd.c, libbfd.h: changed prototype of bfd_write.
* newsos3.c: (newos3_callback) now calls bfd_set_arch_mach rather
than fixing the structure directly.
* oasys.c: (oasys_object_p) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach rather
than fixing the structure directly.
* opncls.c: (new_bfd) makes sure that bfd_init has been called
before opening a bfd.
* srec.c: (srec_set_arch_mach) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach
rather than fixing the structure directly.
* targets.c: (target_vector) now by defining SELECT_VECS (perhaps
in the t/hmake file) a user can select which backends they want
linked with bfd without changing the source.
* init.c: new, looks after initializing modules.
* howto.c: for future use, will allow an application to work out
what cookie to use as a handle on a relcoatio howto.
* Makefile.in, awkscan-ip, awkscan-p, intobfd,
libbfd.h, libcoff.h, tolibcoff; new bfd-in.h, libbfd-in.h,
libcoff-in.h: (a) use separate files for invariant parts of bfd.h,
libbfd.h, and libcoff.h; (b) in generated parts of same, use less
obtrusive marks indicating .c origins.
* bfd.texinfo: generalize most references to linker
Install header comments and attribute most modules to their
authors. BFD's name is now officially "Binary File Descriptor",
so remove any conflicting perjoratives.
bfd.texinfo oasys.c opncls.c reloc.c srec.c: More documentation on
lint fixes.
* amdcoff.c bfd.texinfo Makefile.in : Folded in changes for amd
29k coff by David Wood (wood@lab.ultra.nyu.edu).
