* trad-core.c: Document how to use it nowadays.
* i386aout.c, newsos3.c: Clean up.
* i386coff.c: Allow 386 coff files to be used as core files too
(for reading core files from embedded systems).

* cpu-a29k.c, cpu-i386.c, cpu-m68k.c, cpu-mips.c, cpu-vax.c,
cpu-h8300.c, cpu-i960.c, cpu-m88k.c, cpu-sparc.c: added. These
files will eventually contain processor specific bits for bfd,
like strange relocation information and dis/assembly. So far only
the H8 has been even partially done. This work also ties in with
the change in handling architectures.
* amdcoff.c: (a29k_reloc) fix error message.
* aout-f1.h: (choose_reloc_size) now calls bfd_get_arch to
discover the architecture of the bfd. (sunos4_callback) calls the
function bfd_set_arch_mach rather than stuffing stuff directly
into the bfd. (sunos4_write_object_contents), changed names of
accessor functions.
* aoutx.h: (set_arch_mach) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach to
setup the environment.
* archive.c: (bfd_slurp_coff_armap) coff archives always have the
headers in big endian format, regardless of the endianess of the
host or target.
* archures.c: totally changed. Now an architecture is represented
with a pointer to an info structure rather than an enumerated type
and a long. The old info is available as two elements in the
structure. Future enhancements to architecure support will
involve pointers to methods being placed into the info structure.
* bfd.c: changed the definition of the bfd structure for the new
architecture stuff.
* bout.c: (b_out_set_arch_mach) changed to use the new
architecture mechanism.
* coffcode.h: (coff_set_arch_mach, coff_set_flags) changed to use
the new architecture mechanism.
* configure.in: added h8 stuff.
* ieee.c: too many changes to note. Now ieee files written with
bfd gas and ld can be read by gld and ieee only linkers and
simulators.
* libbfd.c, libbfd.h: changed prototype of bfd_write.
* newsos3.c: (newos3_callback) now calls bfd_set_arch_mach rather
than fixing the structure directly.
* oasys.c: (oasys_object_p) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach rather
than fixing the structure directly.
* opncls.c: (new_bfd) makes sure that bfd_init has been called
before opening a bfd.
* srec.c: (srec_set_arch_mach) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach
rather than fixing the structure directly.
* targets.c: (target_vector) now by defining SELECT_VECS (perhaps
in the t/hmake file) a user can select which backends they want
linked with bfd without changing the source.
* init.c: new, looks after initializing modules.
* howto.c: for future use, will allow an application to work out
what cookie to use as a handle on a relcoatio howto.
* Makefile.in, awkscan-ip, awkscan-p, intobfd,
libbfd.h, libcoff.h, tolibcoff; new bfd-in.h, libbfd-in.h,
libcoff-in.h: (a) use separate files for invariant parts of bfd.h,
libbfd.h, and libcoff.h; (b) in generated parts of same, use less
obtrusive marks indicating .c origins.
* bfd.texinfo: generalize most references to linker
Install header comments and attribute most modules to their
authors. BFD's name is now officially "Binary File Descriptor",
so remove any conflicting perjoratives.
bfd.texinfo oasys.c opncls.c reloc.c srec.c: More documentation on
lint fixes.
* amdcoff.c bfd.texinfo Makefile.in : Folded in changes for amd
29k coff by David Wood (wood@lab.ultra.nyu.edu).
