This lets other programs read and write CTF-format data.
Two versioned shared libraries are created: libctf.so and
libctf-nobfd.so. They contain identical content except that
libctf-nobfd.so contains no references to libbfd and does not implement
ctf_open, ctf_fdopen, ctf_bfdopen or ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect, so it can be
used by programs that cannot use BFD, like readelf.
The soname major version is presently .0 until the linker API
stabilizes, when it will flip to .1 and hopefully never change again.
New in v3.
v4: libtoolize and turn into a pair of shared libraries. Drop
--enable-install-ctf: now controlled by --enable-shared and
--enable-install-libbfd, like everything else.
v5: Add ../bfd to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR. Fix tabdamage.
* Makefile.def (host_modules): libctf is no longer no_install.
* Makefile.in: Regenerated.
libctf/
* configure.ac (AC_DISABLE_SHARED): New, like opcodes/.
(LT_INIT): Likewise.
(AM_INSTALL_LIBBFD): Likewise.
(dlopen): Note why this is necessary in a comment.

opcodes/.
(SHARED_LDFLAGS): Likewise.
(BFD_LIBADD): Likewise, for libbfd.
(BFD_DEPENDENCIES): Likewise.
(VERSION_FLAGS): Initialize, using a version script if ld supports
one, or libtool -export-symbols-regex otherwise.
(AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Add ../BFD.
* Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Likewise.
(INCDIR): New.
(AM_CPPFLAGS): Use $(srcdir), not $(top_srcdir).
(noinst_LIBRARIES): Replace with...
[INSTALL_LIBBFD] (lib_LTLIBRARIES): This, or...
[!INSTALL_LIBBFD] (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): ... this, mentioning new
libctf-nobfd.la as well.
[INSTALL_LIBCTF] (include_HEADERS): Add the CTF headers.
[!INSTALL_LIBCTF] (include_HEADERS): New, empty.
(libctf_a_SOURCES): Rename to...
(libctf_nobfd_la_SOURCES): ... this, all of libctf other than
ctf-open-bfd.c.
(libctf_la_SOURCES): Now derived from libctf_nobfd_la_SOURCES,
with ctf-open-bfd.c added.
(libctf_nobfd_la_LIBADD): New, using @SHARED_LIBADD@.
(libctf_la_LIBADD): New, using @BFD_LIBADD@ as well.
(libctf_la_DEPENDENCIES): New, using @BFD_DEPENDENCIES@.
* Makefile.am [INSTALL_LIBCTF]: Use it.
* aclocal.m4: Add ../bfd/acinclude.m4, ../config/acx.m4, and the
libtool macros.
* libctf.ver: New, everything is version LIBCTF_1.0 currently (even
the unstable components).
* Makefile.in: Regenerated.
* config.h.in: Likewise.
* configure: Likewise.
binutils/
* Makefile.am (LIBCTF): Mention the .la file.
(LIBCTF_NOBFD): New.

(LIBCTF): Use the .la file.
(check-DEJAGNU): Use it.

* configure: Likewise.
include/
* ctf-api.h: Note the instability of the ctf_link interfaces.
- Use of nonportable <endian.h>
- Use of qsort_r
- Use of zlib without appropriate magic to pull in the binutils zlib
- Use of off64_t without checking (fixed by dropping the unused fields
that need off64_t entirely)
- signedness problems due to long being too short a type on 32-bit
platforms: ctf_id_t is now 'unsigned long', and CTF_ERR must be
used only for functions that return ctf_id_t
- One lingering use of bzero() and of <sys/errno.h>
All fixed, using code from gnulib where possible.
Relatedly, set cts_size in a couple of places it was missed
(string table and symbol table loading upon ctf_bfdopen()).
binutils/
* objdump.c (make_ctfsect): Drop cts_type, cts_flags, and
cts_offset.

include/
* ctf-api.h (ctf_sect_t): Drop cts_type, cts_flags, and cts_offset.
(ctf_id_t): This is now an unsigned type.
(CTF_ERR): Cast it to ctf_id_t. Note that it should only be used
for ctf_id_t-returning functions.

(ZLIBINC): Likewise.
(AM_CFLAGS): Use them.
(libctf_a_LIBADD): New, for LIBOBJS.

and unconditional definitions of MIN and MAX.

(ctf_set_errno): Now returns unsigned long.
* ctf-util.c (ctf_set_errno): Adjust here too.

cts_flags and cts_offset.
