* config.in (STRICTCOFF): New for strict COFF.

	* configure.in: Define STRICTCOFF for i386-*-msdosdjgpp*,
	i386-*-go32* and i386-go32-rtems*.
	* configure: Rebuilt.

	* config/obj-coff.c (obj_coff_endef): Follow the historical
	behavior if STRICTCOFF is not defined.

	* doc/internals.texi: Document STRICTCOFF.

/* According to the COFF documentation:
http://osr5doc.sco.com:1996/topics/COFF_SectNumFld.html
A special section number (-2) marks symbolic debugging symbols,
including structure/union/enumeration tag names, typedefs, and
the name of the file. A section number of -1 indicates that the
symbol has a value but is not relocatable. Examples of
absolute-valued symbols include automatic and register variables,
function arguments, and .eos symbols.
But from Ian Lance Taylor:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-08/msg00202.html
the actual tools all marked them as section -1. So the GNU COFF
assembler follows historical COFF assemblers.
However, it causes problems for djgpp
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-08/msg00210.html
By defining STRICTCOFF, a COFF port can make the assembler to
follow the documented behavior. */

configuration process will create a file named @file{targ-env.h} in the build
directory which includes @file{te-@var{em}.h}.
There is a special case for COFF. For historical reason, the GNU COFF
assembler doesn't follow the documented behavior on certain debug symbols for
the compatibility with other COFF assemblers. A port can define
@code{STRICTCOFF} in the configure script to make the GNU COFF assembler
to follow the documented behavior.
Porting GAS to a new CPU requires writing the @file{tc-@var{CPU}} files.
Porting GAS to a new object file format requires writing the
@file{obj-@var{fmt}} files. There is sometimes some interaction between these
