Nick Clifton 6f156d7a4a Add support for v3 binary annotation notes.
I am checking in the attached patch which updates the binutils
  support for version 3 binary annotation notes.  (Version 3 adds
  an end address to the ranges covered by the notes, so that it
  is possible to detect gaps in the coverage).

  This patch also stops the note merging feature of objcopy from
  executing if the notes have relocations against them.  This makes the
  code simpler, and prevents the problems with architectures which have
  unusual relocation management issues.

	* objcopy.c (objcopy_internal_note): New structure.
	(gap_exists): New function.
	(is_open_note): New function.
	(is_func_note): New function.
	(is_64bit): New function.
	(merge_gnu_build_notes): Handle v3 notes.  Do not merge
	if there are relocations against the notes.
	* readelf.c (get_note_type): Use short names for build attribute
	notes.
	(print_symbol_for_build_attribute): Rename to
	get_symbol_for_build_attribute.  Returns the found symbol rather
	than printing it.
	(print_gnu_build_attribute_description): Maintain address ranges
	for function notes as well as global notes.  Handle v3 notes.
	(print_gnu_build_attribute_name): Use more space for printing the
	name in wide mode.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-2-32.s: Use .dc.l instead of .word.
	Eliminate symbol references in order to remove the need for
	relocations.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-2-64.s: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-3-32.s: Add a size to the note_1
	symbol.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-3-64.s: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/mips/mips-note-2r-n32.d: Update expected
	output.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/mips/mips-note-2r-n64.d: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/mips/mips-note-2r.d: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-2-32.d: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-2-64.d: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-3-32.d: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-3-64.d: Likewise.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-4-64.s: New test.  Checks v3 notes.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-4-32.s: New test.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-4-64.d: New test result file.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/note-4-32.d: New test result file.

		   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

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

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