Clear static_links in reread_symbols
-fsanitize=address pointed out a use-after free in objfile_register_static_link. The bug turned out to be that reread_symbols does not clear the static_links field; this leaves a hash table that is filled with freed pointers. Jan's (now quite old) idea of replacing reread_symbols with a simple delete/new still seems good to me, and it's worth noting that it would have avoided this bug. Tested by the buildbot and by observing the change with -fsanitize=address. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-10-19 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * symfile.c (reread_symbols): Clear "static_links".
