bfd_get_filename

This macro says:
/* Cast from const char * to char * so that caller can assign to
   a char * without a warning.  */

I reckon that isn't such a good idea since it can result in char*
variables where const char* is appropriate.  Not very many places
need the char* cast.

	* aout-target.h (object_p): Formatting.
	* bfd-in.h (bfd_get_filename): Don't cast to char*.
	* corefile.c (generic_core_file_matches_executable_p): Constify
	variables and remove cast.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.

	(print_archive_member_posix): Constify parameter.
	(struct output_fns <print_object_filename, print_archive_filename>),
	(<print_archive_member>): Likewise.
	* objcopy.c (copy_archive): Add cast for make_tempdir.
