Move the symbol-file-from-memory functions into their own file.
* symfile-mem.c, symfile-mem.h: New files. * symfile.c (symbol_file_add_from_bfd): New function. (symbol_file_add): Call symbol_file_add_from_bfd. (symbol_file_add_from_memory, add_symbol_file_from_memory_command): Moved to symfile-mem.c. (_initialize_symfile): Move definition of add-symbol-file-from-memory command to symfile-mem.c. * symfile.h (symbol_file_add_from_bfd): New declaration. * config/i386/linux.mt (TDEPFILES): Add symfile-mem.o. * config/powerpc/linux.mt (TDEPFILES): Same. * Makefile.in (SFILES): Add symfile-mem.c. (symfile_mem_h): New variable. (HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add symfile-mem.h. (symfile-mem.o): New rule.

+/* This file defines functions (and commands to exercise those
+ functions) for reading debugging information from object files
+ whose images are mapped directly into the inferior's memory. For
+ example, the Linux kernel maps a "syscall DSO" into each process's
+ address space; this DSO provides kernel-specific code for some
+ system calls.
+
+ At the moment, BFD only has functions for parsing object files from
+ memory for the ELF format, even though the general idea isn't
+ ELF-specific. This means that BFD only provides the functions GDB
+ needs when configured for ELF-based targets. So these functions
+ may only be compiled on ELF-based targets.
+
+ GDB has no idea whether it has been configured for an ELF-based
+ target or not: it just tries to handle whatever files it is given.
+ But this means there are no preprocessor symbols on which we could
+ make these functions' compilation conditional.
+
+ So, for the time being, we put these functions alone in this file,
+ and have .mt files reference them as appropriate. In the future, I
+ hope BFD will provide a format-independent bfd_from_remote_memory
+ entry point. */
