an error return.
* coffcode.h (coff_slurp_reloc_table): Allow the rel parameter to
be unused.
* coffgen.c (make_a_section_from_file): Check the length of a
section name before testing to see if it is a debug section name.
(coff_object_p): Zero out any uninitialised bytes in the opt
header.
* ecoff.c (_bfd_ecoff_slurp_symbolic_info): Test for the raw
source being empty when there are values to be processed.
(_bfd_ecoff_slurp_symbol_table): Add range check.
* mach-o.c (bfd_mach_o_canonicalize_one_reloc): Likewise.

(bfd_mach_o_read_symtab_strtab): If the read fails, free the
memory and nullify the symbol pointer.

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.

(pe_mkobject) [PEI_FORCE_MINIMUM_ALIGNMENT]: Set
pe->force_minimum_alignment to TRUE.
(pe_mkobject) [PEI_TARGET_SUBSYSTEM]: Set pe->target_subsystem to
PEI_TARGET_SUBSYSTEM.
(pe_print_private_bfd_data): Call
_bfd_XX_print_private_bfd_data_common() instead of
_bfd_pe_print_private_bfd_data_common().
(pe_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data): Call
_bfd_XX_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common() instead of
_bfd_pe_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common().
(coff_bfd_copy_private_section_data): Define as
_bfd_XX_bfd_copy_private_section_data instead of
_bfd_pe_bfd_copy_private_section_data.
(coff_get_symbol_info): Define as _bfd_XX_get_symbol_info instead
of a _bfd_pe_get_symbol_info.
* peigen.c: Delete.
* peXXigen.c: Renamed from peigen.c.
(COFF_WITH_XX): Define this macro (will get expanded into
COFF_WITH_pep or COFF_WITH_pe, depending on whether this is being
compiled as peigen.c or pepigen.c.
[COFF_WITH_pep]: Include "coff/ia64.h" instead of "coff/i386.h" to
define the canonical PEP structures and definitions.
(_bfd_XXi_swap_aouthdr_out): If pe->force_minimum_alignment is in
effect, enforce minimum file and section alignments. If
extra->Subsystem is IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_UNKNOWN, set it to
pe->target_subsystem (this defaults to IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_UNKNOWN,
so, by default, this is a no-op).
* libpei.h: Rename COFF_WITH_PEP to COFF_WITH_pep.
(_bfd_XX_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common): Add macros to map
_bfd_XXfoo to _bfd_pepfoo if COFF_WIT_PEP is defined and to
_bfd_pefoo if it's not defined. Use these macros to define
coff swap macros.

force_minimum_alignment.

PEPAOUTHDR.
