/* ELF executable support for BFD.
   Copyright 1991, 1992, 1993 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

   Written by Fred Fish @ Cygnus Support, from information published
   in "UNIX System V Release 4, Programmers Guide: ANSI C and
   Programming Support Tools".  Sufficient support for gdb.

   Rewritten by Mark Eichin @ Cygnus Support, from information
   published in "System V Application Binary Interface", chapters 4
   and 5, as well as the various "Processor Supplement" documents
   derived from it. Added support for assembler and other object file
   utilities.

	/****************************************

	  		WARNING

	This is only a partial ELF implementation,
	incorporating only those parts that are
	required to get gdb up and running.  It is
	expected that it will be expanded to a full
	ELF implementation at some future date.

	Unimplemented stubs call abort() to ensure
	that they get proper attention if they are
	ever called.  The stubs are here since
	this version was hacked from the COFF
	version, and thus they will probably
	go away or get expanded appropriately in a
	future version.

/* Problems and other issues to resolve.

   (1)	BFD expects there to be some fixed number of "sections" in
        the object file.  I.E. there is a "section_count" variable in the
	bfd structure which contains the number of sections.  However, ELF
	supports multiple "views" of a file.  In particular, with current
	implementations, executable files typically have two tables, a
	program header table and a section header table, both of which
	partition the executable.

	In ELF-speak, the "linking view" of the file uses the section header
	table to access "sections" within the file, and the "execution view"
	uses the program header table to access "segments" within the file.
	"Segments" typically may contain all the data from one or more
	"sections".

	Note that the section header table is optional in ELF executables,
	but it is this information that is most useful to gdb.  If the
	section header table is missing, then gdb should probably try
	to make do with the program header table.  (FIXME)

SYNOPSIS
	struct elf_internal_shdr *bfd_elf_find_section (bfd *abfd, char *name);

DESCRIPTION
	Helper functions for GDB to locate the string tables.
	Since BFD hides string tables from callers, GDB needs to use an
	internal hook to find them.  Sun's .stabstr, in particular,
	isn't even pointed to by the .stab section, so ordinary
	mechanisms wouldn't work to find it, even if we had some.

/* Create a new bfd section from an ELF program header.

   Since program segments have no names, we generate a synthetic name
   of the form segment<NUM>, where NUM is generally the index in the
   program header table.  For segments that are split (see below) we
   generate the names segment<NUM>a and segment<NUM>b.

   Note that some program segments may have a file size that is different than
   (less than) the memory size.  All this means is that at execution the
   system must allocate the amount of memory specified by the memory size,
   but only initialize it with the first "file size" bytes read from the
   file.  This would occur for example, with program segments consisting
   of combined data+bss.

   To handle the above situation, this routine generates TWO bfd sections
   for the single program segment.  The first has the length specified by
   the file size of the segment, and the second has the length specified
   by the difference between the two sizes.  In effect, the segment is split
   into it's initialized and uninitialized parts.

   without any interpretation of their contents.  With just this support,
   the bfd client will have to interpret the structures itself.  Even with
   /proc support, it might want these full structures for it's own reasons.

   In the second level of support, where HAVE_PROCFS is defined, bfd will
   pick apart the structures to gather some additional information that
   clients may want, such as the general register set, the name of the
   exec'ed file and its arguments, the signal (if any) that caused the
