bfd_error_on_input messages
bfd_errmsg uses asprintf for bfd_error_on_input, which means we currently leak memory. Keep a static pointer to the message and free it in various places to minimise the leaks. bfd_set_input_error (NULL, bfd_error_no_error) is a way to free up the last string if that matters. * bfd.c (input_error_msg): New static var. (bfd_set_input_error): Free it here.. (bfd_init): ..and here.. (bfd_errmsg): ..and here. Use it for asprintf output.
