--all option which displays text from anywhere in the input file(s). The
default used to be --data, which only displays text from loadable data sections,
but this requires the use of the BFD library. Since the BFD library almost
certainly still contains buffer overrun and/or memory corruption bugs, and
since the strings program is often used to examine malicious code, it was
decided that the --data option option represents a possible security risk.

initialized, loadable data secions of binaries. Choose the
default behaviour of --all or --data based upon a configure
option.
* doc/binutils.texi (strings): Update documentation. Include
description of why the --data option might be unsafe.

the option is not used make strings use --all by default.

and regen lots of configure files.
This also makes --enable-plugins default to on for hosts that can
support plugins, so we have consistent lto toolchain support. The
ACX_LARGEFILE moves aren't strictly necessary, but are harmless and
will be necessary if plugin support is extended to more hosts via
libtool's dlopen support. I started down that path then decided it
was more work than I was interested in doing. (ACX_LARGEFILE invokes
AC_PLUGINS.)

This removes usage of the obsolete AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in all

The goal of this patch is to provide an easy way to make
--disable-werror the default when building binutils, or the parts
of binutils that need to get built when building GDB. In development
mode, we want to continue making -Werror the default with GCC.
But, when making releases, I think we want to make it as easy as
possible for regular users to successfully build from sources.
GDB already has this kind of feature to turn -Werror as well as
the use of the libmcheck library. As GDB Release Manager, I take
advantage of it to turn those off after having cut the branch.
I'd like to be able to do the same for the binutils bits. And
perhaps Tristan will want to do the same for his releases too
(not sure, binutils builders might be a little savvier than GDB
builders).
This patch introduces a new file, called development.sh, which
just sets a variable called $development. In our development branches
(Eg. "master"), it's set to true. But setting it to false would allow
us to change the default behavior of various development-related
features to be turned off; in this case, it turns off the use of
-Werror by default (use --enable-werror to turn it back on).
bfd/ChangeLog:
* development.sh: New file.

Tested on x86_64-linux by building two ways: One with DEVELOPMENT
set to true, and one with DEVELOPMENT set to false. In the first
case, I could see the use of -Werror, while it disappeared in
the second case.

Move the package name/version from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to AC_INIT per recent
autotools guidelines. We use recent versions of both, so it shouldn't be
a problem.
This sets PACKAGE_xxx variables correctly, and makes the output of:
./configure --version
actually useful:
bfd configure 2.22.52
Changing the other dirs to use AC_INIT would require a bit of m4 trickery
that I don't feel like getting into, and they all use BFD_VERSION anyways,
so there isn't much point.
