Tamar Christina 4ffd290906 Binutils: Always skip only 1 byte for CIE version 1's return address register.
According to the specification for the CIE entries, when the CIE version is 1 then
the return address register field is always 1 byte.  Readelf does this correctly in
read_cie in dwarf.c but ld does this incorrectly and always tries to read a
skip_leb128.  If the value here has the top bit set then ld will incorrectly read
at least another byte, causing either an assert failure or an incorrect address to
be used in eh_frame.

I'm not sure how to generate a generic test for this as I'd need to write assembly,
and it's a bit hard to trigger. Essentially the relocated value needs to start with
something that & 0x70 != 0x10 while trying to write a personality.

bfd/ChangeLog:

	* elf-eh-frame.c (_bfd_elf_write_section_eh_frame): Correct CIE parse.

		   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

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