Extend readelf and objdump so that they will display and follow multiple links to separate debug information files.
PR 23843 * dwarf.h (struct separate_info): New structure for containing information on separate debug info files. * dwarf.c (struct dwo_info): New structure for containing dwo links. (first_dwo_info): Chain of dwo_info structures. (first_separate_file): Chain of separate_info structures. (separate_debug_file, separate_debug_filename): Delete. (fetch_alt_indirect_string): Scan all separate debug info files for the requested string. (add_dwo_info): New function. (add_dwo_name): New function. (add_dwo_dir): New function. (add_dwo_id: New function. (free_dwo_info): New function. (read_and_display_attr_value): Store DWO data using the new functions. (load_debug_section_with_follow): If necessary, scan the list of separate debug info files for the requested section. (add_separate_debug_file): New function. (load_separate_debug_info): Call add_separate_debug_file to store the information on the newly loaded file. (load_dwo_file): Likewise. (load_separate_debif_file): Rename to load_separate_debug_files. Change return type to boolean. If following links then attempt to load all separate debug info files, not just the first one. (free_debug_memory): Release memory in dwo_info and separate_info chains. * objdump.c (dump_dwarf): Iterate over all loaded debg info files. * readelf.c (process_object): Likewise. * doc/debug.options.texi: Update descriptions of links and follow-links options. * testsuite/binutils-all/objdump.WK2: Update expected output. * testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.k2: Likewise. * NEWS: Announce the new feature.

+* The separate debug info file options of readelf (--debug-dump=links
+ and --debug-dump=follow) and objdump (--dwarf=links and
+ --dwarf=follow-links) will now display and/or follow multiple links if
+ more than one are present in a file. (This usually happens when gcc's
+ -gsplit-dwarf option is used).

Changes in 2.32:
* The addr2line, c++filt, nm and objdump tools now have a limit on the
