* Makefile.in ($(NM_PROG)): Depend on demangle.o.
(demangle.o): New target. (cplus-dem.o): Depend on it, to force compilation order when doing parallel compiles. * nm.c (print_symbol_info_{bsd,sysv,posix}): Take a bfd arg. (struct output_fns print_symbol_info): Ditto. (long_options, usage, main): Add -C --demangle option. (print_symname): New function, demangling if requested. (print_symbols, print_symbol_info_{bsd,sysv,posix}): Use it.
