Nick Alcock 2f6ecaed66 libctf, binutils: support CTF archives like objdump
objdump and readelf have one major CTF-related behavioural difference:
objdump can read .ctf sections that contain CTF archives and extract and
dump their members, while readelf cannot.  Since the linker often emits
CTF archives, this means that readelf intermittently and (from the
user's perspective) randomly fails to read CTF in files that ld emits,
with a confusing error message wrongly claiming that the CTF content is
corrupt.  This is purely because the archive-opening code in libctf was
needlessly tangled up with the BFD code, so readelf couldn't use it.

Here, we disentangle it, moving ctf_new_archive_internal from
ctf-open-bfd.c into ctf-archive.c and merging it with the helper
function in ctf-archive.c it was already using.  We add a new public API
function ctf_arc_bufopen, that looks very like ctf_bufopen but returns
an archive given suitable section data rather than a ctf_file_t: the
archive is a ctf_archive_t, so it can be called on raw CTF dictionaries
(with no archive present) and will return a single-member synthetic
"archive".

There is a tiny lifetime tweak here: before now, the archive code could
assume that the symbol section in the ctf_archive_internal wrapper
structure was always owned by BFD if it was present and should always be
freed: now, the caller can pass one in via ctf_arc_bufopen, wihch has
the usual lifetime rules for such sections (caller frees): so we add an
extra field to track whether this is an internal call from ctf-open-bfd,
in which case we still free the symbol section.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
