o bfd_read and bfd_write lose an unnecessary param and become
bfd_bread and bfd_bwrite.
o bfd_*alloc now all take a bfd_size_type arg, and will error if
size_t is too small. eg. 32 bit host, 64 bit bfd, verrry big files
or bugs in linker scripts etc.
o file_ptr becomes a bfd_signed_vma. Besides matching sizes with
various other types involved in handling sections, this should make
it easier for bfd to support a 64 bit off_t on 32 bit hosts that
provide it.
o I've made the H_GET_* and H_PUT_* macros (which invoke bfd_h_{get,put}_*)
generally available. They now cast their args to bfd_vma and
bfd_byte * as appropriate, which removes a swag of casts from the
source.
o Bug fixes to bfd_get8, aix386_core_vec, elf32_h8_relax_section, and
aout-encap.c.
o Zillions of formatting and -Wconversion fixes.

structure initializations. Add casts.
* reloc.c (EMPTY_HOWTO): Define.
* bfd-in2.h: Rebuild.
* coff-h8300.c (h8300_reloc16_extra_cases): Remove useless
comparisons against 0.
* elf32-sparc.c (elf32_sparc_merge_private_bfd_data): Change
previous_ibfd_e_flags to unsigned long.
* vms.h (struct vms_private_data_struct): Change section_count to
unsigned.
* vms-gsd.c (_bfd_vms_slurp_gsd): Change psect_idx to unsigned.
(_bfd_vms_write_gsd): Change symnum to unsigned.

(alloc_section): Change idx to unsigned.
(tir_sta, tir_ctl): Change psect to unsigned.

reasonable mode until "ar x" is smart enough to skip it (fixes
gcc/libgcc.a builds on mips-ecoff targets
* coffcode.h (styp_to_sec_flags): Explain how COMDATs are supposed
to work. Hack to support MS import libraries, which use different
COMDAT types than GNU.
(coff_slurp_symbol_table): C_SECTION symbols are local; they refer
to implied zero-length sections (see peicode below)
* coffgen.c (coff_get_normalized_symtab): Properly read long MS
filename symbols, which use one *or more* auxents.
* coffswap.h (coff_swap_aux_in): ditto
* peicode.h (coff_swap_sym_in): Build the implied zero-length
sections
