Tom Tromey dc294be54c fix PR symtab/15597
This patch fixes gdb PR symtab/15597.

The bug is that the .gnu_debugaltlink section includes the build-id of
the alt file, but gdb does not use it.

This patch fixes the problem by changing gdb to do what it ought to
always have done: verify the build id of the file found using the
filename in .gnu_debugaltlink; and if that does not match, try to find
the correct debug file using the build-id and debug-file-directory.

This patch touches BFD.  Previously, gdb had its own code for parsing
.gnu_debugaltlink; I changed it to use the BFD functions after those
were introduced.  However, the BFD functions are incorrect -- they
assume that .gnu_debugaltlink is formatted like .gnu_debuglink.
However, it it is not.  Instead, it consists of a file name followed
by the build-id -- no alignment, and the build-id is not a CRC.

Fixing this properly is a bit of a pain.  But, because
separate_alt_debug_file_exists just has a FIXME for the build-id case,
I did not fix it properly.  Instead I introduced a hack.  This leaves
BFD working just as well as it did before my patch.

I'm willing to do something better here but I could use some guidance
as to what.  It seems that the build-id code in BFD is largely punted
on.

FWIW gdb is the only user of bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info outside of
BFD itself.

I moved the build-id logic out of elfread.c and into a new file.
This seemed cleanest to me.

Writing a test case was a bit of a pain.  I added a couple new
features to the DWARF assembler to handle this.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.

	* bfd-in2.h: Rebuild.
	* opncls.c (bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info): Add buildid_len
	parameter.  Change type of buildid_out.  Update.
	(get_alt_debug_link_info_shim): New function.
	(bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink): Use it.

	* Makefile.in (SFILES): Add build-id.c.
	(HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add build-id.h.
	* build-id.c: New file, largely from elfread.c.  Modified
	most functions.
	* build-id.h: New file.
	* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_get_dwz_file): Update for change to
	bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info.  Verify dwz file's build-id.
	Search for dwz file using build-id.
	* elfread.c (build_id_bfd_get, build_id_verify)
	(build_id_to_debug_filename, find_separate_debug_file): Remove.

	* gdb.dwarf2/dwzbuildid.exp: New file.
	* lib/dwarf.exp (Dwarf::_section): Add "flags" and "type"
	parameters.
	(Dwarf::_defer_output): Change "section" parameter to
	"section_spec"; update.
	(Dwarf::gnu_debugaltlink, Dwarf::_note, Dwarf::build_id): New
	procs.
