Tamar Christina 251dae9107 x86: Add i386 PE big-object support
The 64-bit version of binutils got support for the PE COFF BIG OBJ format a
couple of years ago.   The BIG OBJ format is a slightly different COFF format
which extends the size of the number of section field in the header from a
uint16_t to a uint32_t and so greatly increases the number of sections allowed.

However the 32-bit version of bfd never got support for this.  The GHC Haskell
compiler generates a great deal of symbols due to it's use of
-ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections.

This meant that we could not build the 32-bit version of the GHC Compiler for
many releases now as binutils didn't have this support.

This patch adds the support to the 32-bit port of binutils as well and also does
come cleanup in the code.

bfd/ChangeLog:

	* coff-i386.c (COFF_WITH_PE_BIGOBJ): New.
	* coff-x86_64.c (COFF_WITH_PE_BIGOBJ): New.
	* config.bfd (targ_selvecs): Rename x86_64_pe_be_vec
	to x86_64_pe_big_vec as it not a big-endian format.
	(vec i386_pe_big_vec): New.
	* configure.ac: Likewise.
	* targets.c: Likewise.
	* configure: Regenerate.
	* pe-i386.c (TARGET_SYM_BIG, TARGET_NAME_BIG,
	COFF_WITH_PE_BIGOBJ): New.
	* pe-x86_64.c (TARGET_SYM_BIG, TARGET_NAME_BIG):
	New.
	(x86_64_pe_be_vec): Moved.

gas/ChangeLog:

	* NEWS: Add news entry for big-obj.
	* config/tc-i386.c (i386_target_format): Support new format.
	* doc/c-i386.texi: Add i386 support.
	* testsuite/gas/pe/big-obj.d: Rename test to not be x64 specific.
	* testsuite/gas/pe/pe.exp (big-obj): Make test run on i386 as well.

ld/ChangeLog:

	* pe-dll.c (pe_detail_list):  Add pe-bigobj-i386.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
