Fred Fish 9ea71abfcf * elfcode.h (elf_object_p): Add comment about what this function
does and to watch out for side effects.  Add FIXME for memory leaks.
	Fix comment about checking for matching byte order.  Preserve
	pointer to old tdata (if any), and restore it if we don't match
	file with target vector.  If we are going to use goto's, use them
	consistently and maintainably.
	* nlmcode.h (nlm_object_p):  Expand comments about leaked memory
	to note that the problem is even more serious than just leaked
	memory.  Replace goto with more traditional return.

HPPA/ELF README file:

	HP PA-RISC support was contributed by the Center for Software Science
	at the University of Utah.

This is the status of the hppa/elf code in bfd 2.0 as of January 29, 1993:

1. It generates correct ELF files for all of the input I've given it
so far.  I've used this version of libbfd.a to build an hppa/elf
version of gas 1.36 (emits SOM).  I've run files as large as 200K
lines of assembly through it.

2. ELF executables that are created *always* have 3 program header
table entries.  This is due to the exec() support we have in the
kernel for ELF executables.  It expects *exactly* 3 program header
table entries -- one for text, one for data, and one for bss.
Currently, there's no support for any other types of program header
table entries.
