(laying some groundwork for a fix for PR 8443)

	* coffread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Don't presave name string
	on symbol_obstack before passing to prim_record_minimal_symbol.
	It now handles saving the string itself.
	* dbxread.c (read_dbx_dynamic_symtab): Ditto.
	* mipsread.c (read_alphacoff_dynamic_symtab): Ditto.
	* os9kread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Ditto.
	* solib.c (solib_add_common_symbols): Ditto.

	* coffread.c (coff_symtab_read): Don't presave name string on
	symbol_obstack before passing to prim_record_minimal_symbol_and_info.
	It now handles saving the string itself.
	* dbxread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Ditto.
	* elfread.c (record_minimal_symbol_and_info): Ditto.

	* dstread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Remove static function that just
	called prim_record_minimal_symbol with the same args (after change to
 	prim_record_minimal_symbol to do it's own name string saves).
	* nlmread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Ditto.
	* somread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Ditto.

	* hpread.c (hpread_read_enum_type): Save symbol name on symbol obstack.
	(hpread_read_function_type): Ditto.
	(hpread_process_one_debug_symbol): Ditto.
	* mdebugread.c (parse_symbol): Ditto.
	(new_symbol): Ditto.
	* minsyms.c (prim_record_minimal_symbol_and_info): Ditto.

	* coffread.c (process_coff_symbol): Use obsavestring to save
	SYMBOL_NAME, rather than obstack_copy0.
	* dstread.c (create_new_symbol): Ditto
	* symfile.c (obconcat): Ditto.
	* stabsread.c (patch_block_stabs): Ditto.
	* xcoffread.c (SYMNAME_ALLOC): Ditto.

	* symfile.c (obsavestring): Update comments
	* solib.c (solib_add_common_symbols): Remove local var origname.
